Our Pick
Seattle Mariners ML
Final Score3-4
Result+2u

📊 Recap

Seattle took a 4-3 win as the model called it — Gilbert's command held, the bullpen locked it down late, and the park kept scoring suppressed. The edge we identified on both the starter and relief disparity translated directly to the result.

MLB Chicago White Sox @ Tampa Bay Rays
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 7.5
Final Score0-1
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

The OVER 7.5 didn't come close in a 1-0 final, a brutal offensive outcome regardless of how the pitching structure ultimately shook out. No excuses — zero runs for Chicago is a variance outcome our model couldn't price for.

MLB Detroit Tigers @ Athletics
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
OVER 10.5
Final Score8-6
Result+1.5u

📊 Recap

The heat and the Athletics' shattered bullpen delivered as projected — 14 combined runs cleared the 10.5 with room to spare. Extreme environment plus bottom-tier relief was always the right formula here.

MLB Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
UNDER 8.5
Final Score4-5
Result-1u

📊 Recap

The Under 8.5 didn't hold, with the Rangers and Astros combining for 9 runs in a 5-4 final. Both starters held their end reasonably well, but the run total edged just over the number — a one-run miss that falls within the variance we acknowledged going in.

MLB Washington Nationals @ Atlanta Braves
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
OVER 9.5
Final Score3-8
Result+1u

📊 Recap

The Braves' offense delivered against Mikolas, and Lopez struggled to match his surface numbers as our projection anticipated. An 11-3 final validated the process — our 10.43 run projection cleared the 9.5 total with room to spare.

MLB San Francisco Giants @ San Diego Padres
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
San Diego Padres ML
Final Score5-6
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Padres held on 6-5 in a game that played out largely as modeled — San Diego's superior bullpen ultimately made the difference in a close one. The win-probability edge held up exactly as projected.

MLB Milwaukee Brewers @ Los Angeles Angels
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Milwaukee Brewers ML
Final Score3-1
Result+1u

📊 Recap

The Brewers took care of business in a clean 3-1 win, with the bullpen edge playing out exactly as expected. Milwaukee's relief corps held the Angels at bay in the late innings, validating the structural advantage we identified at a price that offered real value.

MLB Kansas City Royals @ Colorado Rockies
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Kansas City Royals ML
Final Score6-12
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

Kansas City fell 6-12 to Colorado, a tough result in a high-variance Coors Field environment we'd already flagged. The edge was real at +100, but the environment delivered — this is exactly why we kept sizing at 0.5u.
