Evidence-Based Analysis
Philadelphia’s 85–68 record conflicts with the market’s Mets preference and the away probable was not listed in the source capture; the information set does not support a side. The individual model assessment for Mets ML is 50%, against a 52.7% source-market baseline. The difference does not meet the responsible-edge threshold, so no market is published.
Risks and Uncertainty
Late lineups, starters, inactive lists, weather where relevant, and market movement can materially change the calculation. No selection is a guarantee; all current-day fixtures remain pending until official completion.
