Circuit-breaker log (5 checks)
  • Rule 2 fired: market line -310 exceeds the night-game juice cap (-180): pivoted off the moneyline to LAD -1.5 (covers 48.6% of sims).
  • Rule 8 fired: raw model sees 61.6%, de-vigged market says 74.0%: a 12.4-point divergence (cap 12). When the model and the market disagree this hard, the market usually knows something our inputs do not (lineups, injury news, form). Demoted to lean pending manual review.
  • Rule 4 check passed: both starters carry full-season workloads.
  • Rule 6 check passed: away 14-day wOBA 0.362 vs league 0.316 (gap -0.046, threshold 0.035).
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
