Graded — this page is the complete record.

The lean (0 units — logged, not staked)

St. Louis Cardinals ML (-120, FanDuel) · confidence 50.2% of 10,000 sims · edge -4.3 pts · 0u

Matthew Liberatore (5.41 ERA, 1.47 WHIP) vs Mason Adams (3.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP).

Projected 5.7–6.1; sim total 11.8 against a 11 line; park factor 1.24.

Market at board time: moneyline -122 / +106 (consensus at board time) · total 11.

Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 check passed: market line -120 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 47.4% vs de-vigged market 53.1%: 5.7-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 50.2% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -4.3 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
  • Rule 4 flag: Mason Adams 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 0.309 vs league 0.318 (gap +0.009, threshold 0.035).
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
  • Weather (totals paper track ONLY): 91°F at first pitch: run environment x1.084 + 5% hot-day kicker vs away SP fly-ball (61% air outs). 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 11 (+107, LowVig.ag) — WIN (+1.07u paper).

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