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

St. Louis Cardinals visit Cincinnati Reds Thursday at 8/20 - 12:40 PM EDT. STL is 7-5 in their last 12.

Vegas opened STL as a 1.5-point favorite with the total at 9.0. CIN's moneyline implies a 49% break-even, STL the inverse. CIN is on a back-to-back.

For bettors: the STL side carries the favorite-tax, the dog gets the points and a plus-money payout. The 9.0 total reads high-scoring vs the league average.
