Graded — this page is the complete record.

The lean (0 units — logged, not staked)

Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 run line · confidence 42.8% of 10,000 sims · edge -5.2 pts · 0u

Dylan Cease (2.25 ERA, 1.04 WHIP) vs Jacob Lopez (4.71 ERA, 1.46 WHIP).

Projected 4.7–3.9; sim total 8.7 against a 8.5 line; park factor 1.02.

Market at board time: moneyline -200 / +170 (consensus at board time) · total 8.5.

Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 fired: market line -190 exceeds the night-game juice cap (-180): pivoted off the moneyline to TOR -1.5 (covers 42.8% of sims).
  • Rule 8 check passed: raw model 56.4% vs de-vigged market 64.3%: 7.9-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 42.8% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -5.2 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 0.333 vs league 0.317 (gap -0.015, threshold 0.035).
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
  • Weather (totals paper track ONLY): 84°F at first pitch: run environment x1.055. 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.
