Rafters Edge Simulation
A transparent, site-owned matchup read built from recent scoreboard history, scoring margin, recent form, and home-venue adjustment. For entertainment and analysis only.
Houston Astros 5.4 · Cincinnati Reds 3.8
Two reasons the projection lands on Houston Astros: Houston Astros’s scoring margin profile and Houston Astros’s recent stretch. Lineup vs. starter L/R splits matter more than season ERAs in a one-game sample.
Three things to watch
- Form gap. Houston Astros is 55% over their recent sample; Cincinnati Reds is 10%. Streaky teams tend to carry one more game than the math allows for.
- Pitching matchup. TBD (Houston Astros) vs. Andrew Abbott (Cincinnati Reds).
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.
