Best and worst calls
Best

“The Phillies have been the stronger NL East club in recent years and likely enter 2026 as favorites. Single-game MLB variance and uncertainty about location/starters keep Miami's chances from being much lower, but Philadelphia is the more probable winner, so I estimate a 39% chance for a Marlins win.”

“The White Sox were historically bad in 2024 and likely remain below the Cubs by 2026, making them moderate underdogs. Single-game MLB variance and rivalry dynamics keep them from being extreme longshots. Without confirmed venue, rosters, or pitching matchup, I estimate roughly a 40% chance Chicago's AL side wins.”

said 53% · it happened · Brier 0.221

“As of the 2024-2026 trajectory, Detroit projects slightly stronger overall than Pittsburgh, though both are young and variable. Without knowing starting pitchers, home field, injuries, or midseason roster changes, a single-game MLB outcome remains close to even. I give the Tigers a modest edge.”

Worst
said 54% · it didn’t · Brier 0.292

“Atlanta has had the stronger core roster (Acuña, Olson, Riley, Strider) and generally projects as a better team than Minnesota, but this is likely a road interleague game at Target Field, giving the Twins home-field advantage. Without confirmed 2026 injuries, roster changes, or starting pitchers, and given high single-game MLB variance, I estimate only a modest Braves edge.”

said 48% · it didn’t · Brier 0.230

“Without confirmed starters, lineups, or venue at forecast time, I rely on team-strength priors. The Mets project as a slightly stronger roster (Soto, Lindor, deeper pitching) than San Diego, though the Padres remain competitive. Venue is not specified, so I do not apply a home-field adjustment. I estimate a neutral-field Padres win probability near 48%, reflecting a small Mets edge and normal MLB randomness.”
