We only make our hand ~30-33% of the time on the river at this point

How do you calculate this? Is this number of outs vs. what we have left in the deck?

46 cards left, so our odds are 1546-15) = 15:31, which is rougly 1:2 or 33%.

A quicker method for a rough calculation is to take the number of outs and multiply by 4 on the flop or 2 on the turn. So 15x2 = 30%. This undershoots it a bit, so it's reasonable to use for "value" calculations.
