Prediction Insights

SDN is favoured on team strength -- rated 52 Elo points higher than PIT based on results over the last several seasons.
SDN leads the head-to-head series 23-18 across their last 41 meetings.

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.
