At lock: projected MIL 4.24–3.20 TB
Model vs market
Gap: +3 pts of win %, +1.48 total. The projection shown above blends the model with this line.
Backtest 2023–2026, 9,733 games, win-probability Brier (lower is better): model v2 0.2448 vs old model 0.2486. No free archive of MLB closing lines, so we can't benchmark against the market yet. Totals now also use official game-time weather (temperature and wind in/out from the MLB feed): total-runs error fell 3.532 → 3.516 runs/game (MAE) over 2023–2026, lower in every season. A plate-appearance model (team batting vs starter/bullpen rates through a base-out run-expectancy solve) was tested and didn't beat this one, so it is not used.
