How our model performed

The Red Sox defeated the Tigers 8-6.

Our model predicted the Red Sox would win with 55% confidence -- and they delivered. A close call, but the model's slight lean proved correct.

  • Home Field Advantage favored the Red Sox and was a notable factor: Base home field advantage applied (no detailed stats available)
  • Injuries was neutral and a contributing factor: Similar injury situations: Red Sox (0 out) vs Tigers (0 out)
  • Rest Days was neutral and a contributing factor: Similar rest: Red Sox (back-to-back) vs Tigers (back-to-back)
