St. Louis Cardinals 4.4 · Kansas City Royals 4.3
The model leans St. Louis Cardinals because St. Louis Cardinals owns the cleaner scoring-margin profile and Kansas City Royals has the recent-form edge. Bullpen rest day is the sneakiest input — a long man on the mound erases a 3-run lead in two innings.
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.
