I didn’t see an @MajorWedgy prop teaser for today, here’s one I’m on. Do with it what you will. @svea123
MiracleManDan’s AI Baseball 7/31/26 - Doveryai, no proveryai
Experimental - Alpha Testing - Release 3.1
I saw a few days ago that 3,0 had introduced something bad. I had little time to look at it, so busy with other projects. Shoulda looked harder at the summary. Trust, but verify, quoting Reagan quoting Russian.
Blew my monthly allotment of Fable5 to do a holistic review. It found a major flaw in the model that was introduced in the last release. Probably start doing that every month. I also need to find time to implement some local open weight models.
Enough of my troubles. These picks will be marked as AIC31.

1. Seattle Mariners vs Minnesota Twins
Pick: Minnesota...
First, four factors dictate whether there is major turnover in the Senate in a midterm election independent of the favorability of the Senate map (due to only one-third of seats being up in any given midterm). Often, as was the case in both 2018 and 2022, is that incumbents are not destined to lose seats, outside of realigning elections in unfavorable maps. This cycle's map favors the GOP, which is why the prediction markets and most forecasters expect a GOP majority in the 2027 Senate. The four factors that prove dangerous to the incumbent party are: first, a recession or cost of living crisis; second, a war; third, a major scandal; and fourth, a sense of betrayal in the voter group that backed the incumbent amongst some portion of their prior electoral coalition. Five midterms feature some combingation of those factors in some significant degree: 1930, 1946, 1958, 1974 and 2006.
Without those factors present in multiple forms, the incumbent party can expect to hold on to seats in states it previously won outside the national margin. When those factors are present, the landscape shifts dramatically. Examining those White House incumbent seats that showed a state-wide election decided by single digits in the prior decade produces the following probabilities: the incumbent White House party lost at least 67% of its incumbent held seats, as much as 85% of its incumbent held seats, and an average of 75% of its incumbent hold seats, rarely upsetting the opposition party in any seat and often losing a surprise or two in seats considered completely safe.
