Looking Back
The Seattle Mariners 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 -0.29 (lower is better) in favor of the home starter. Bullpen quality favored the away side by 0.21 expected runs. For comparison, ESPN's matchup predictor gave this side a 50.0% chance. Our model had it at 45.4%.
