Prediction Insights

This is a coin-flip moneyline (BOS 55% / SFN 45%). Underdog SFN is live — winner markets are noisy in MLB; prefer totals, team runs, hits, or Ks.
BOS is favoured on team strength -- rated 56 Elo points higher than SFN based on results over the last several seasons.

These are model-derived probability leans, not guaranteed outcomes -- MLB has very high inherent variance (even a 100-win team loses ~35% of its games), and even well-calibrated models miss regularly. For research/educational use only; this is not betting advice.
