Up to 5 prior games · shared 0–100% scale
A snapshot of recent results, not a prediction of this match.
Five observed rates from up to five verified prior games, on the same 0–100% scale. This describes a short sample, not a prediction or a team strength score.
Wins = games won. Unbeaten = wins or draws (an overtime loss is a loss). Scored = games with at least one goal/run. Clean sheets = games without conceding. Scoring share = scored / (scored + conceded). The axes overlap; polygon size is not a combined rating.
White Sox's best starter Sean Burke will not pitch in Game 1, being held back for Game 2, further weakening Chicago's Game 1 pitching.

The two outcomes of the same binary market are scaled to 100%. This removes the proportional margin, not uncertainty. The reference is not a measured winning chance; a difference can also mean model error.
