Game Read
A matchup read built from team form, venue, rest, and availability context. It is analysis, not betting advice.
Washington Nationals 4.8 · St. Louis Cardinals 4.3
Why this lean
Washington Nationals is the lean because of Washington Nationals on the margin numbers and St. Louis Cardinals on the form numbers. Lineup vs. starter L/R splits matter more than season ERAs in a one-game sample.
Rafty checks team form, venue, schedule rhythm, and matchup context, then refreshes as game pages republish. Exact weighting stays private.
