Model ensemble · how the prediction is built
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.

How we read this game
Preview · MLB
thletics visit Texas Rangers Tuesday at 9/1 - 8:05 PM EDT.
Vegas opened TEX as a 1.5-point favorite with the total at 7.5. TEX's moneyline implies a 67% break-even, ATH the inverse.
For bettors: the TEX side carries the favorite-tax, the dog gets the points and a plus-money payout. The 7.5 total reads defensive vs the league average.
