New York Mets -1.5 run line · confidence 38.8% of 10,000 sims · edge -6.5 pts · 0u

Matt Wilkinson (4.63 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) vs Nolan McLean (3.06 ERA, 1.12 WHIP).

Projected 3.8–4.2; sim total 8 against a 8 line; park factor 0.96.

Market at board time: moneyline +160 / -190 (consensus at board time) · total 8.

Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 fired: market line -180 exceeds the night-game juice cap (-180): pivoted off the moneyline to NYM -1.5 (covers 38.8% of sims).
  • Rule 8 check passed: raw model 52.6% vs de-vigged market 63.0%: 10.4-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 38.8% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -6.5 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 0.330 vs league 0.318 (gap -0.012, threshold 0.035).
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
  • Weather (totals paper track ONLY): 79°F at first pitch: run environment x1.036. 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.
