Average Prediction Calculation
To calculate the average score prediction from these models:
- BetQL: 5-4
- ESPN: 4-4
- SportsLine: 6-3
- Leans AI: 5-3
- Dimers: 5-4
Calculating the averages:
- Astros: (5 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 5) / 5 = 5
- Reds: (4 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 4) / 5 = 3.6
Thus, the average final score prediction is approximately Astros 5, Reds 3.6.
Using the Pythagorean theorem and considering the strength of the schedule, the Astros, with a record of 74-62, show a strong performance indicator. They have been effective in scoring runs and limiting their opponents, which is reflected in their recent success (4 wins in the last 5 games). Given the injuries impacting both teams—especially the Reds, who have numerous key players sidelined—this significantly affects their competitiveness.
My prediction for the game is Astros 5, Reds 4.
Combining the average prediction with my own, we find:
- Astros: Average prediction = 5, My prediction = 5 → Final Pick = Astros 5
- Reds: Average prediction = 3.6, My prediction = 4 → Final Pick = Reds 4
Pick: Take the Houston Astros -118 Moneyline. ***LOSE***
