Looking Back
The Houston Astros 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 -1.18 (lower is better) in favor of the home starter. For comparison, ESPN's matchup predictor gave this side a 48.9% chance. Our model had it at 57.3%.
