Road teams had their way on Wednesday’s four-game MLB slate. The Cleveland Guardians led the charge, rolling into Chicago and topping the White Sox 9-3 in the day’s opener. The Tampa Bay Rays edged the New York Yankees 4-3 in a tight one at the Bronx, while the Milwaukee Brewers quieted the San Diego Padres 3-1 in the nightcap. The lone home win went to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-1 to round out the day’s action.
The XO Sports model went 2-2 on the day. Both correct calls came on road-team picks, with the model correctly forecasting Milwaukee over San Diego and Los Angeles over Atlanta. The misses came in Chicago and New York, where the model leaned on the home side in both matchups and came up short as the road teams prevailed. No top picks were designated for this slate, and the sportsbook consensus also struggled, finishing 1-2 in games where that data was available.
