Model ensemble · how the prediction is built

3 sub-models, blended.

Each sub-model uses a different rating substrate. Bayesian model averaging weights them by rolling Brier score so the ensemble inherits each model's strengths. Disagreement flags games where the sub-models don't see eye-to-eye — lower confidence, wider band.

Preview · MLB

Kansas City Royals visit Texas Rangers Saturday at 5/30 - 4:05 PM EDT.

Vegas opened KC as a 1.5-point favorite with the total at 8.0. TEX's moneyline implies a 55% break-even, KC the inverse. TEX is on a back-to-back.

For bettors: the KC side carries the favorite-tax, the dog gets the points and a plus-money payout. The 8.0 total reads defensive vs the league average.
