Venue: Yankee Stadium. Park run factor: 1.03. The model adjusts the predicted total by both the flat park run factor (70% weight) and the hand-aware HR factor (30% weight) to capture park-by-batter-handedness effects on home runs.
Active drivers behind this pick: platoon, framing. Each driver represents a factor pushing the same direction as the model's pick. The number of drivers does not set confidence, which comes from the calibrated probability.
The pick was made by MarcDuck with the assistance of AI software, not by AI alone. The AI weighs starting pitcher FIP/xFIP, bullpen quality, park factors by handedness, weather, lineup splits, recent form, and line movement. MarcDuck reviews the AI's output, refines edge cases (late injury news, narrative-driven line moves, weather updates), and formulates the final pick. Full methodology: /methodology.html.
