MLB Pittsburgh Pirates @ Miami Marlins
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Pittsburgh Pirates ML
Final Score0-2
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

Skenes delivered another quality start, but the Pirates' offense was completely shut out in a 2-0 loss. The process remains sound — backing elite pitching at fair value is the right play — but Pittsburgh's chronic run support issues came back to bite us here.

MLB Cleveland Guardians @ Detroit Tigers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Detroit Tigers ML
Final Score4-6
Result+0.5u

📊 Recap

Detroit took care of business, 6-4. The bullpen edge held, sharp money read the game correctly, and Comerica did its part in keeping this a manageable, low-variance win — exactly the kind of thin-edge spot we target.

MLB Pittsburgh Pirates @ Miami Marlins
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
UNDER 7
Final Score0-2
Result+1.5u

📊 Recap

The under hit cleanly, finishing at just 2 total runs — well inside our 6.3 projection. Skenes and Perez delivered, both lineups stayed cold, and the process held up exactly as drawn.

MLB Chicago Cubs @ Washington Nationals
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Chicago Cubs ML
Final Score8-6
Result+2u

📊 Recap

The Cubs delivered in Washington, winning 8-6 as the depleted Nationals roster and shaky pitching staff played out exactly as modeled. A clean 70% equity spot that returned the expected result — process and outcome aligned here.

MLB Seattle Mariners @ New York Yankees
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Seattle Mariners ML
Final Score1-4
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The Mariners dropped this one 4-1, and the Yankees executed well enough to cover the spread in runs. The underlying logic — Woo's edge and sharp money movement — was reasonable, but the result didn't follow. Variance happens; process holds.

MLB Boston Red Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Toronto Blue Jays ML
Final Score3-5
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Dylan Cease delivered exactly what we projected, neutralizing a Boston lineup he's historically dominated while Sandoval's uncertainty on the other side left runs on the table. Toronto's pitching edge was real, and the 5-3 final reflected it.

Posted: 8/11/2026 6:14 PM ET
MLB New York Mets @ Atlanta Braves
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
New York Mets ML
Final Score0-4
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The Mets were shut out 0-4, and Atlanta controlled this one from start to finish. Our lineup edge against Perez never materialized — a clean loss with no excuses.

Posted: 8/11/2026 6:14 PM ET
MLB Baltimore Orioles @ Minnesota Twins
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Baltimore Orioles ML
Final Score5-2
Result+1u

📊 Recap

The Orioles covered the gap efficiently, handling Ober and pulling away for a 5-2 win. Bullpen edge held, lineup history delivered — the process was sound, and the result followed.

Posted: 8/11/2026 6:14 PM ET
MLB Texas Rangers @ Los Angeles Angels
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 9
Final Score2-3
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

The Over 9 didn't come close in a low-scoring 3-2 final. Both starters outperformed their projections and the bullpens held firm — the logic was sound, but the bats went quiet when it mattered.

Posted: 8/11/2026 6:14 PM ET
MLB Milwaukee Brewers @ San Diego Padres
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Milwaukee Brewers ML
Final Score2-11
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

The Brewers got blown out 11-2, and there's no softening that. The underlying logic — superior team, superior starter, market value — was sound, but the execution on the field didn't cooperate tonight. On to the next one.

Posted: 8/11/2026 6:14 PM ET
MLB Colorado Rockies @ Arizona Diamondbacks
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Arizona Diamondbacks ML
Final Score3-2
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

Arizona fell 3-2 in a tight one — the process was sound, but the Diamondbacks couldn't cash in enough against Colorado's pitching. A one-run loss in a game we liked is variance, not a reason to second-guess the logic.

Posted: 8/11/2026 6:14 PM ET
MLB Tampa Bay Rays @ Athletics
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Tampa Bay Rays -1.5
Final Score12-4
Result+1u

📊 Recap

The pitching gap we projected materialized emphatically — Martinez and the Rays' run prevention held firm while the Athletics' 5.67 ERA bullpen was exposed in a 12-4 blowout. The run line was never in question.

Posted: 8/11/2026 6:14 PM ET
MLB Houston Astros @ San Francisco Giants
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Houston Astros -1.5
Final Score1-4
Result-1u

📊 Recap

The Astros fell 4-1, leaving us short on the run line. Brown and the offense couldn't generate the separation needed, and San Francisco's pitching held firm — a clean loss with no mitigating factors worth leaning on.

Posted: 8/11/2026 6:14 PM ET
MLB Kansas City Royals @ Los Angeles Dodgers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5
Final Score4-5
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

The Dodgers dropped a tight one to Kansas City, 5-4, sending our -1.5 run line down. The underlying edge was sound — this one simply didn't fall our way.
