Looking Back
The Minnesota Twins 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 -0.91 (lower is better) in favor of the home starter. For comparison, ESPN's matchup predictor gave this side a 41.3% chance. Our model had it at 56.1%.
