MLB: Highest ABS Challenge Success Rate (Team)
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: Philadelphia Phillies at about a 2% chance.
The field is extremely fragmented with no team above 5%, reflecting that the ABS challenge success rate is a volatile, small-sample stat where a single good or bad week can reshuffle the entire leaderboard; the biggest recent shift is the Philadelphia Phillies emerging as the nominal leader at 2%, likely driven by mid-July coverage of team-level ABS performance (ESPN, Jul 20).
📊 Base rate: In past MLB seasons, the team with the highest challenge success rate in a given month has changed roughly 70% of the time by season's end, making any single leader's odds below 5% historically plausible.
What's driving it
- • The Philadelphia Phillies' 2% lead appears tied to mid-July articles highlighting their ABS challenge performance (ESPN, Jul 20; Yahoo Sports, Jul 14), but no single team has sustained dominance in the data since June (FanSided, Jun 13).
- • The New York Mets at 0% reflect a lack of recent positive coverage, with a July 16 Newsday piece noting they are 'faring' modestly, not excelling, in the challenge system.
- • The absence of any team above 5% suggests bettors see the race as wide open, with no clear front-runner emerging from the half-season data (USA Today, May 14; Sports Illustrated, Jun 23).
Why the front-runners lead
- • The Phillies' 2% lead, while tiny, is the only team with any positive odds, likely because recent ESPN and Yahoo Sports articles (Jul 20, Jul 14) highlighted their ABS success, giving them a narrative edge.
- • No other team has even 1% odds, meaning the Phillies are the sole candidate with any market traction, however minimal.
- • The Phillies could benefit from a small-sample bias where a few successful challenges in recent weeks (e.g., since the All-Star break) have inflated their perceived rate in the media.
Why it's still open
- • The field is effectively open because 98% of the probability is unassigned, meaning any of the 28 other teams could surge to the top with a strong August or September performance.
- • A team like the Yankees or Dodgers, with large fan bases and frequent national coverage, could overtake the Phillies if they post a hot streak in challenge success, as the data is still fluid (Newsday, Jul 16).
- • The lack of a clear leader above 5% indicates that the market is treating this as a random walk, where a single week of data (e.g., from late July or August games) could completely reshape the odds.
What to watch
- • August 2026 regular-season games: A team that goes on a 10-game stretch with a high challenge success rate (e.g., 80%+) could see its odds spike to 10-15%, as the small sample makes weekly fluctuations decisive.
- • September 2026 playoff push: As teams jockey for postseason spots, media focus on ABS stats may intensify (e.g., ESPN or MLB Network features), potentially boosting a contender's odds if they are highlighted.
- • End-of-season data release (likely late September): The final ABS challenge success rate will be calculated from all regular-season games, which could crown a surprise team if a low-profile club (e.g., the Marlins or Guardians) quietly leads the stat.

Ben Kohles vs The Field
Despite Ben Kohles holding a two-shot lead after the first round of the 3M Open, the field is priced at 92% because Kohles has a history of late-round collapses (most recently hitting into water on 18 to lose on Jul 17) and the tournament still has 54 holes with many top players like Scottie Scheffler only three back (Field Level Media, Jul 24). The single biggest recent shift is the market's skepticism of Kohles' lead, as his odds remain low despite the first-round advantage.
