Graded — this page is the complete record.

The lean (0 units — logged, not staked)

Boston Red Sox -1.5 run line · confidence 45.7% of 10,000 sims · edge -5.1 pts · 0u

Matt Wilkinson (0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP) vs Jake Bennett (3.46 ERA, 1.07 WHIP).

Projected 3.9–4.9; sim total 8.8 against a 8.5 line; park factor 1.06.

Market at board time: moneyline +182 / -210 (consensus at board time) · total 8.5.

Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 fired: market line -205 exceeds the day-game juice cap (-170): pivoted off the moneyline to BOS -1.5 (covers 45.7% of sims).
  • Rule 8 check passed: raw model 58.6% vs de-vigged market 65.6%: 7.0-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 45.7% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -5.1 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
  • Rule 4 flag: Matt Wilkinson 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 0.285 vs league 0.314 (gap +0.029, threshold 0.035).
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
  • Weather (totals paper track ONLY): 70°F at first pitch: run environment x0.999. 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.

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