Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 check passed: market line -158 within the night-game juice cap (-180; night -180, day -170, day = first pitch before 17:00 venue-local).
  • Rule 8 check passed: raw model 53.8% vs de-vigged market 60.6%: 6.8-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 57.2% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -4.0 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.

  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.

The close is the last pre-first-pitch capture. Movement toward a side after we post is the fastest honest read on pick quality — see the CLV column on the ledger.

No stake rode on this game. The lean and its failed gates above are the whole position: passing is a position too.
