Well interesting slightly more than 6 in 10 of the teams that have started 2-0 have made the dance.
The more surprising thing to me is that 1-1 and 0-2 are the deep holes that they are, especially 1-1 only making it 40% of the time.

What about starting 2-0 on the road?

What about starting 3-0?

Nothing against Padre, but this doesn't make sense. The math I mean. After 3 games ALL teams must be either 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2. These teams either make the playoffs or they didn't. In any given year if a 2-0 team doesn't make the playoffs then a 1-1 team or an 0-2 team will make it. Someone HAS to go to the playoffs. So shouldn't the percentages all add up to 100% being that the playoffs has happened every year since 1990. Of course there could be a very small space for error for the tiny amount of times there may have been a tie in the first two games of the season.
I'm no mathematician (obviously).... Just a random boring thought. -

That seems a bit high since 37.5% of teams typically make the playoffs, until it's factored in that we have gone from 28 to 32 teams in that time (Jags & Panthers, new-Browns, Texans).
You can't simply add the %'s together since each % is using a different total of teams. -
