Inspired by Marc's comment about HAL giving preference to facing negatively rated clutch hitters, I looked at 6 of my 2016 season teams:
Positively rated clutch hitters: 9091 appearances on hitters card, average weighted CL rating 6.32, 66 clutch hits, for calculation of 12.4% chance of clutch situation.
Negatively rated clutch hitters: 8129 appearances on hitters card, average weighted CL rating -4.94, 50 clutch outs, for calculation of 13.4% chance of clutch situation.
This may be too small a sample to use, and is clearly biased by my POS-rated player selection, but it would lend support to Marc's comment (about an 8% bias toward negatively rated hitters). I may try to evaluate some full leagues to see if the pattern holds.
