Methodology & Data Sources
Current MLB game logs come from the balldontlie API and cover the 2002 season onward. Scores and schedule anomalies are checked against the official MLB Stats API. Spring training is excluded, while results from earlier franchise identities are merged into the current club.
The all-time record and the History Lab use Retrosheet game logs through 2025, with inning lines, team totals, attendance, duration and ballpark fields when available. Final games after 2025 come from the current feed, and every section built on that feed alone is labeled as starting in 2002.
The betting context summarizes completed final scores only. It contains no sportsbook closing lines and summarizes only completed games. Report a possible error through our contact page with the matchup and game date.
