Three things to watch
- Form gap. Kansas City Royals is 70% over their recent sample; Minnesota Twins is 50%. Streaky teams tend to carry one more game than the math allows for.
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.
