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.

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).

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

What injury statuses are shown?

Out listings for teams on today's board. Public ESPN injury listings, refreshed throughout the day.
