Looking Back
The Los Angeles Dodgers 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 -0.82 (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 60.2% chance. Our model had it at 50.4%.
