Methodology
Methodology — Game Totals v1
For each game, we simulate 10,000 possible outcomes using a Monte Carlo engine driven by:
- Each starting pitcher's projected strikeout rate and innings pitched (computed from our pitcher prop Monte Carlo)
- League-average bullpen run-allowed rate for innings after the starter exits
- Poisson distribution of runs scored against each pitcher
The model outputs a projected total runs distribution, which we compare to FanDuel and DraftKings closing lines. We apply 0.7 shrinkage toward the no-vig market consensus to control for model overconfidence during calibration.
Calibration window: 2-3 weeks of live tracking before scaling stake size. Production version (Q3) will incorporate: weather (wind/temp/humidity), park factors, lineup confirmation, umpire tendencies, bullpen fatigue, and Markov chain run expectancy.
