Graded — this page is the complete record.

The lean (0 units — logged, not staked)

Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 run line · confidence 39.0% of 10,000 sims · edge -6.6 pts · 0u

Tarik Skubal (2.91 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) vs Drew Anderson (4.09 ERA, 1.29 WHIP).

Projected 4.4–4.1; sim total 8.5 against a 7.5 line; park factor 0.97.

Market at board time: moneyline -190 / +163 (consensus at board time) · total 7.5.

Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 fired: market line -181 exceeds the night-game juice cap (-180): pivoted off the moneyline to LAD -1.5 (covers 39.0% of sims).
  • Rule 8 check passed: raw model 52.4% vs de-vigged market 63.3%: 10.9-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 39.0% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -6.6 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
  • Rule 4 check passed: both starters carry full-season workloads.
  • Rule 6 check passed: away 14-day wOBA 0.306 vs league 0.316 (gap +0.011, threshold 0.035).
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
  • Weather (totals paper track ONLY): 78°F at first pitch: run environment x1.030. 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): Over 7.5 (+105, Fanatics) — LOSS (-1.00u paper).

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