Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Rays defeated the Yankees 4-3.

Our model predicted the Rays would win with 56% confidence -- and they delivered. Even with modest confidence, the model got this one right.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Injuries favored the Rays and was a major factor: Rays healthier: 0 out, 0 doubtful vs Yankees 4 out, 0 doubtful
  • Defensive Efficiency favored the Yankees and was a contributing factor: Yankees pitching/defense (3.7 RA/G) better than Rays (4.0 RA/G)
  • Home Field Advantage favored the Yankees and was a contributing factor: Yankees are 42-30 at home this season; Rays are 33-40 on the road (divisional game, reduced advantage)
  • The Yankees are without 4 player(s) due to injury, which could tilt the matchup.

This analysis was generated from our model's pre-game assessment compared against the actual result. Factor accuracy helps improve future predictions.
