Boston Red Sox gets the model’s nod thanks to Boston Red Sox’s margin advantage, with Boston Red Sox’s recent run providing the second tip. Bullpen rest day is the sneakiest input — a long man on the mound erases a 3-run lead in two innings.

Rafty’s call: ✓ RIGHT
Pre-game pick: Boston Red Sox at 61%. Actual: Boston Red Sox by 2.

Formula: expected win rate from points-for vs. points-allowed (anchored), scoring margin, recent form, and home/venue edge, adjusted by league volatility. Refreshes whenever the venue/game workflow republishes game pages.
