Graded — this page is the complete record.

The lean (0 units — logged, not staked)

Texas Rangers ML (-127, BetRivers) · confidence 52.1% of 10,000 sims · edge -3.9 pts · 0u

Cal Quantrill (3.56 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) vs George Klassen (7.27 ERA, 2.88 WHIP).

Projected 4.1–4.3; sim total 8.4 against a 9 line; park factor 1.00.

Market at board time: moneyline -133 / +120 (consensus at board time) · total 9.

Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 check passed: market line -127 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 48.5% vs de-vigged market 55.7%: 7.2-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 52.1% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -3.9 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
  • Rule 4 flag: George Klassen under 60 IP this deep in the season (limited workload / possible IL return). Volume freeze: confidence downgraded one tier.
  • Rule 6 flag: away 14-day wOBA 0.274 trails league 0.310 by 0.037 (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): 73°F at first pitch: run environment x1.012. Applied to the paper totals pick; the staked board ignores weather entirely.

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 9 (-112, BetRivers) — WIN (+0.89u paper).

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