Methodology

Data is evidence, not decoration.

Analytical pieces should make a claim you can test against the game. Utility boards should stay factual. Original metrics are lenses — useful, not unquestionable truth.

Notice → Explain → Watch

Featured analysis aims for discovery, clarity, and anticipation: what to notice, why the evidence matters, and what to watch next.

What we show when it matters

Data window — the sample the claim rests on
Source / methodology — where the numbers come from and how they were defined
Caveat — uncertainty, exclusions, or limits that change how far the claim can travel

MalliScore and original metrics

Treat every Mallitalytics metric as a structured read of process and shape — not a guarantee of outcomes. When a metric leads a piece, the surrounding evidence should still stand on its own.

Editorial position on betting

We do not publish picks, odds conversions, or affiliate betting calls to action. Analysis here is for understanding baseball, not for wagering advice.
