Description

Motivation

With so many games each day, it'll be good to know which games are potentially the "most competitive". This could help choose which game to watch.

How

One way to measure competitive game could be differential in WIN%. The lower the differential of WIN% between two teams, the more the chances of those teams being evenly matched.

Research direction
Start by exploring the codebase to understand how the current schedule is fetched and displayed. Look for where games are listed, likely in a file handling the 'schedule' command. Determine how team win percentages are obtained (perhaps from standings endpoint). Then implement a sorting option that sorts games by absolute difference in win percentage, with the lowest differential first (most competitive). Consider adding a flag like ' competitive' or modifying the existing sort.
