Market at board time: moneyline +156 / -180 (consensus at board time) · total 7.5.

Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 check passed: market line -176 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 59.1% vs de-vigged market 62.2%: 3.1-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 60.7% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -3.1 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
  • Rule 4 flag: Cody Bradford 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 0.329 vs league 0.316 (gap -0.013, 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.

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