Looking Back
The Philadelphia Phillies 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 -1.26 (lower is better) in favor of the home starter. For comparison, ESPN's matchup predictor gave this side a 63.2% chance. Our model had it at 55.0%.
