How the Model Reads Francisco Giants
San Francisco plays in Oracle Park (0.90x run factor; the most extreme marine-layer park, dense air kills ball carry late afternoon onward). The model leans UNDER on Giants totals especially after 5 PM start times. Rotation quality has been uneven — the model picks up edges when their top arms match favorably.
