What could break the pick

Baltimore Orioles come in hot on a 4-game win streak — recent form the season-long rating hasn't fully priced in. The edge is real but modest; single-game variance eats edges like this regularly. Starting pitchers, lineup cards, and bullpen usage move real outcomes in ways a rating system can’t see.
