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.
Boston Red Sox 3.4 · Tampa Bay Rays 5.0
Two reasons the projection lands on Tampa Bay Rays: Tampa Bay Rays’s scoring margin profile and Tampa Bay Rays’s recent stretch. Pitcher confirmation and bullpen availability can move this fastest.
Three things to watch
- Form gap. Tampa Bay Rays is 85% over their recent sample; Boston Red Sox is 55%. Streaky teams tend to carry one more game than the math allows for.
- Net efficiency. Tampa Bay Rays projects 56% from points-for vs points-allowed; Boston Red Sox sits at 47%.
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.
