What this tool calculates
Estimate a baseball team’s win probability from expected runs for both teams using a Pythagorean expectation model, then compare it with market odds.
Win probability = runs^exponent / (runs^exponent + opponent runs^exponent). Model edge = model probability − market implied probability.
Treat the result as a decision aid. Verify inputs, market rules, and settlement conditions before placing a bet.
Worked example
With 4.8 expected runs against 4.2 and an exponent of 1.83, the team rates above 50%. Comparing that estimate with 1.91 market odds reveals the modeled edge.

Tips and limitations
- Use current prices and realistic assumptions.
- Compare several scenarios instead of relying on one point estimate.
- Rounding can create small differences from sportsbook displays.
- Never stake more than you can afford to lose.
