Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
- Rule 2 check passed: market line -174 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 61.6% vs de-vigged market 62.7%: 1.2-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 62.1% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
- Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -1.4 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
- Rule 4 flag: Grayson Rodriguez under 60 IP this deep in the season (limited workload / possible IL return). Volume freeze: confidence downgraded one tier.

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