What to watch
The model makes Detroit Tigers the favourite at 52%, but at 48% Chicago White Sox is far from a write-off. The early stages often decide it: whoever sets the tempo first can swing the probabilities quickly. Watch whether the favourite asserts itself early or the game stays open — that is where the model's lean is won or lost.
