FAQ

What does Win% mean?

Win% is the model's projected chance that the listed favorite wins the game. The second line shows the away and home split.

How does MechaPip pick a favorite?

MechaPip blends Glicko-2 team ratings with a LightGBM ensemble, then calibrates the final probabilities. The higher projected side is the forecast.

What is Elo Edge?

Elo Edge is the rating-point advantage of the projected winner. The Ratings column shows each team's Glicko rating and that edge.

What do the confidence tiers mean?

70%+ = High-confidence forecast. 60-69% = Moderate-confidence forecast. 50-59% = Slight favorite.

What do top-player lines show?

Season stat leaders for each side. Totals vary by sport (points, yards, goals, or batting line).

What is MechaPicks?

The MechaPip logo in the MechaPicks column means MechaPip signaled that pick (paper or live). Rows without the logo are model forecasts only.
