Our model leans Washington Nationals

On balance, more tracked inputs leaned Philadelphia Phillies (15 edges vs 8 for Washington Nationals).

Note: the model leans Washington Nationals even though the simple edge count favors Philadelphia Phillies.

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