WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

Across 1,000 daily matchup predictions over 4 days, batters in our top tiers (ELITE + STRONG) hit a homer 8.3% of the time — and the average HR Score among actual HR hitters was 38 vs 34 across the full slate, a 1.11× lift over baseline.

We correctly faded 93.1% of FADE-tier batters (they did not homer). The biggest signals continue to be batter HR rate, quality of contact, and pitcher HR/9 — exactly the levers our weighted model leans on hardest.

GO-FORWARD STRATEGY

  • Lean ELITE/STRONG: Hit rate is 8.3% — keep concentrating attention on the top of every slate; that's where the edge lives.
  • Park premium: The week's top park was Tropicana Field (4.33 HR/G). Continue to weight venue HR factor heavily on travel days.
  • Tighten the FADE bucket: With a 93.1% avoid rate, we'll keep the bar high — any FADE that pops triggers a model review next week.
  • More data = sharper model: Every slate we record makes the next report tighter. Reports refresh every Sunday with the prior 7 days of results.
