Graded — this page is the complete record.

The lean (0 units — logged, not staked)

Minnesota Twins ML (-112, LowVig.ag) · confidence 50.8% of 10,000 sims · edge -2.0 pts · 0u

Zebby Matthews (4.74 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) vs Blade Tidwell (4.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP).

Projected 4.3–4.4; sim total 8.7 against a 8 line; park factor 0.94.

Market at board time: moneyline -120 / +101 (consensus at board time) · total 8.

Circuit-breaker log (7 checks)
  • Rule 2 check passed: market line -112 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 49.4% vs de-vigged market 52.3%: 2.9-point divergence within the 12-point cap (blended to 50.8% at MODEL_WEIGHT=0.5).
  • Edge gate: model edge vs offered price is -2.0 pts (minimum 2). No allocation; a good side at a bad price is a bad bet.
  • Rule 4 flag: Blade Tidwell 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 0.290 vs league 0.321 (gap +0.031, threshold 0.035).
  • Rules 3/5 (velocity/spin telemetry): manual review required: Statcast feed not wired.
  • Weather (totals paper track ONLY): 59°F at first pitch: run environment x0.957. 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): Under 8 (+101, LowVig.ag) — WIN (+1.01u paper).

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