Looking Back
The Atlanta Braves pick lost. The model's signals pointed this way at the time, but baseball (and probability) both reserve the right to disagree on any given night. The pitching matchup at the time showed a FIP edge of -0.47 (lower is better) in favor of the home starter. Bullpen quality favored the home side by 0.53 expected runs. For comparison, ESPN's matchup predictor gave this side a 63.1% chance. Our model had it at 0.0%. Closing line value: -2.67pp (below the closing market). Positive CLV is the leading indicator long-term, regardless of this single result.
