July 18, 2025 — MLB Prediction & Betting Pick
Our model leans Los Angeles Angels
On balance, more tracked inputs leaned Philadelphia Phillies (14 edges vs 9 for Los Angeles Angels).
Note: the model leans Los Angeles Angels even though the simple edge count favors Philadelphia Phillies.

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