Our Pick
Miami Marlins ML
Final Score2-6

Miami covered the gap as expected, with Washington's pitching situation playing out exactly as modeled — Kent and a struggling bullpen couldn't contain the Marlins. A clean 6-2 final validated the process from start to finish.

WON ✓Final
Our Pick
San Diego Padres ML
Final Score1-8

MLB San Francisco Giants @ Boston Red Sox
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
UNDER 8.5
Final Score4-5

📊 Recap

The Giants and Red Sox combined for just 9 runs, one shy of our total — a tough beat given our model had this priced at 7.9. The process was sound; the result didn't go our way by a single run.

MLB Chicago Cubs @ Seattle Mariners
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Chicago Cubs ML
Final Score19-2
Result+0.5u

📊 Recap

The Cubs made this one a non-event early, rolling to a 19-2 final. The pitching edge we identified with Imanaga held, and Chicago's superior record reflected a team that showed up ready to play.

Posted: 8/23/2026 1:05 PM ET
MLB Atlanta Braves @ Milwaukee Brewers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Milwaukee Brewers ML
Final Score4-2
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

Milwaukee fell 4-2, and Atlanta took the win despite the travel and pitching factors we leaned on. The edge was real on paper — it just didn't convert tonight. One game doesn't change the logic behind the process.
