Behind the numbers

MLB · Analysis · 2026-09-22

Brewers–Phillies: separate Wheeler’s rebound from the total

Zack Wheeler’s recent form supports run prevention. Dustin May’s uneven workload complicates the full-game total—and our model evidence cannot resolve the disagreement.

NFL · Analysis · 2026-09-22

Penix returns, but protection is the next question for Falcons–Packers

Atlanta’s quarterback change is confirmed. At 44.5, protection uncertainty and the possibility of fewer turnover-assisted points complicate an automatic over.

MLB · Analysis · 2026-09-22

Rays–Yankees nightcap: the lineup question behind 6.5

The Yankees’ injury picture points in different directions. Fourth & Value is watching the evening lineup and afternoon workload—not treating a low total as an automatic under.
