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 scores every team with calibrated Elo ratings built from season history, then enriches each matchup with player form, team advanced stats, injuries, and starter data. The higher projected side is the forecast.

What is the rating edge?

The rating edge is the favorite's margin between the two Elo ratings printed in the Ratings column — the favorite's printed rating minus the opponent's, the exact subtraction a reader can redo from the two integers shown. It is signed and never clamped: it prints negative when the model's pick rests on the home-field adjustment or the player-form and team-advanced layers rather than the two printed ratings alone. Contract dated 2026-10-12.

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).

MechaPicks are MechaPip's five highest-confidence picks of the day (fewer when the board is smaller). The MechaPip mark in the MechaPicks column shows those picks on the board. Rows without the mark 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.

How does MechaPip use injuries?

Out and Doubtful listings can adjust team Elo ratings before a forecast. The blog table shows Out players only.
