Boston Red Sox ML (-152, BetUS) · confidence 58.5% of 10,000 sims · edge -1.8 pts · 0u

Payton Tolle (3.20 ERA, 1.10 WHIP) vs Max Scherzer (7.25 ERA, 1.53 WHIP).

Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 check passed: market line -152 within the day-game juice cap (-170; night -180, day -170, day = first pitch before 17:00 venue-local).
  • Rule 8 check passed: raw model 57.8% vs de-vigged market 59.2%: 1.4-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 58.5% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -1.8 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
  • Rule 4 flag: Max Scherzer under 60 IP this deep in the season (limited workload / possible IL return). Volume freeze: confidence downgraded one tier.
  • Rule 6 check passed: away 14-day wOBA 0.357 vs league 0.314 (gap -0.042, threshold 0.035).
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
  • Weather: roofed park, no adjustment (totals paper track).

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 (-110, FanDuel) — WIN (+0.91u paper).

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