Our model leans San Francisco Giants

On balance, more tracked inputs leaned Atlanta Braves (17 edges vs 4 for San Francisco Giants).

Note: the model leans San Francisco Giants even though the simple edge count favors Atlanta Braves. This can happen because the model weighs each input differently — a single large advantage (like a dominant pitching matchup or a significant offensive gap) can outweigh several smaller edges on the other side. The edge count treats every metric equally, but the model does not.
