I'd imagine that the corsi numbers affect the simulations in predicting who is more likely to win. This would be similar to goal differential. Two teams with a positive goal differential can meet, but only one can end up with a positive goal differential at the end of the game, yet we can use goal differential as a predictor for who is more likely to win the game.
