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?

Each forecast row prints a rating pair — AWAY and HOME — and the pair is the effective ratings the projection actually used: each side's Elo with the home edge and the matchup layers (player form, team advanced stats, starters, altitude, any live injury adjustment) already inside the two numbers, before calibration and frozen for that row. The rating edge is the favorite's margin between those two printed integers — favorite minus opponent, the exact subtraction a reader can redo from the row — signed and never clamped. The Win% re-derives from the same pair in two printed steps: first the standard 400-scale Elo conversion of the printed gap from the home side, P_raw = 1 / (1 + 10^(-(HOME - AWAY) / 400)); then the sport's fitted beta calibration, P_cal = sigmoid(c + a*ln(P_raw) - b*ln(1 - P_raw)) — named as the number's last step, with the serving scaler's fitted a, b, and c stamped beside the board on every post. The printed Win% is P_cal when the favorite is the home team, and its complement (1 - P_cal) when the favorite is the away team — the model calibrates the home side and complements for an away favorite. The site's ratings table shows raw Elo; the pair beside a forecast is effective — same scale, different point in the pipeline. Contract dated 2026-10-14.

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).

When the board produces a multi-game model prediction, its legs are marked green inside the MechaPicks list above, and its joint line sits just above the list. The five highest-confidence picks of the day sit in that same list when the board carries five, and fewer when it does not. The MechaPip mark in the MechaPicks column shows those rows on the board. Model forecast 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.
