Graded — this page is the complete record.

The lean (0 units — logged, not staked)

New York Yankees ML (-124, DraftKings) · confidence 56.3% of 10,000 sims · edge +1.0 pts · 0u

Bryce Miller (3.08 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) vs Will Warren (4.18 ERA, 1.37 WHIP).

Projected 3.6–4.5; sim total 8.1 against a 8.5 line; park factor 1.03.

Market at board time: moneyline +114 / -128 (consensus at board time) · total 8.5.

Circuit-breaker log (9 checks)
  • Rule 2 check passed: market line -124 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 58.1% vs de-vigged market 54.6%: 3.5-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 56.3% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is +1.0 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
  • Rule 4 check passed: both starters carry full-season workloads.
  • Rule 6 flag: away 14-day wOBA 0.268 trails league 0.310 by 0.042 (threshold 0.035). 8% run tax applied to the away run rate.
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
  • Weather (totals paper track ONLY): 85°F at first pitch: run environment x1.061 + 5% hot-day kicker vs away SP fly-ball (60% air outs). Applied to the paper totals pick; the staked board ignores weather entirely.
  • ✳ Best of Board: the gates left no held plays today, so this is the model's top remaining lean — 0 units, NOT staked, published for transparency. The checks above show exactly which gate it failed.
  • 🎯 Daily Pick (v0.15): the slate's top-ranked eligible candidate (score 0.587) under the always-on strategy's lower, precommitted bar. 0u through the proving window (ends 2026-09-08); separate public ledger, never mixed with the Qualified record.

👁 Watch (market-proving, 0u): Under 8.5 (+105, BetUS) · model 53.4% · edge +4.7 pts · divergence +5.6 pts

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.

❌ Watch pick (market-proving, paper, 0u staked): Under 8.5 (+105, BetUS) — LOSS (-1.00u paper).

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