The MLB schedule kept things compact on October 27th, with just one game on the board. The Tampa Bay Rays hosted the Milwaukee Brewers and came away with a narrow 4-3 victory at home. It was a close, well-played contest that came down to a single run, with the Rays doing just enough to secure the win in front of their home crowd.
The XO Sports model had an interesting read on this one. It correctly projected the Rays’ final score of 4 runs, but leaned toward the Brewers with a predicted 5-run output and a pick on Milwaukee to take the game. The Brewers fell one run short of that projection, flipping the result and marking it as an incorrect call for the model. With only one game on the slate, it was a tough day to overcome, but the model’s scoring prediction for Tampa Bay was right on the money, showing some real precision on the home side.
