Bullpen matchup
Full Bullpen Fatigue Index →Risk is what the model actually uses: fatigue blended with how well the pen has pitched. High fatigue with high efficiency is a tired pen that is still getting outs.
| Metric | Mariners | Rockies |
|---|---|---|
| Fatigue | 5.1/10, Normal | 9.6/10, High risk |
| Efficiency | 5.4/10, Average | 3.5/10, Below average |
| Combined risk | 4.9/10, Normal | 10.0/10, High risk |
| Relief innings, last 7 days | 20.0 | 36.0 |
| Back-to-back arms | 2 | 5 |
| 7-day ERA | 3.60 | 6.00 |
| 7-day WHIP | 1.30 | 1.56 |
Fatigue measures workload. Efficiency measures recent run prevention. Combined risk is what the moneyline and totals systems use.
