April 5, 2025 — MLB Prediction & Betting Pick
Our model leans Chicago White Sox
On balance, more tracked inputs leaned Detroit Tigers (21 edges vs 6 for Chicago White Sox).
Note: the model leans Chicago White Sox even though the simple edge count favors Detroit Tigers.

The edge count treats every metric equally, but the model does not.
