Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 check passed: market line -128 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 56.7% vs de-vigged market 55.1%: 1.6-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 55.9% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -0.2 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
  • Rule 4 flag: Mitch Bratt 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 0.275 trails league 0.314 by 0.038 (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: 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 9 (-107, LowVig.ag) — WIN (+0.94u paper).

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