What did we measure but not count?
Nashville SC scored +0.86 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,745 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar.

Rolling home runs look imposing but sides on a 6+ run won 56.3% of 13,481 games vs 54.6% class-expected — and in our walked test the rating already carried it.
