MLB New York Mets @ Cleveland Guardians
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
UNDER 7.5
Final Score13-6
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

The Under 7.5 didn't survive a 19-run combined explosion, with both offenses far outpacing their season averages in a 13-6 final. The model projected a low-scoring environment — it wasn't tonight.

MLB Pittsburgh Pirates @ Milwaukee Brewers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Pittsburgh Pirates ML
Final Score2-5
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

Pittsburgh fell 5-2 in Milwaukee, and the result didn't go our way. The underlying rationale — Ashcraft's elite profile and May's hard-hit vulnerability — remained sound, but outcomes don't always follow probability. We'll move forward.

MLB Toronto Blue Jays @ Chicago Cubs
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Toronto Blue Jays ML
Final Score2-3
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

Cease and Peterson both delivered tight performances, and in a 3-2 game, the Cubs found enough to edge Toronto. The process was sound — this is a spot we'd return to without hesitation.

MLB Washington Nationals @ Philadelphia Phillies
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
OVER 9.0
Final Score3-7
Result+1u

📊 Recap

The Phillies battered Mikolas early, and Citizens Bank Park did its part as Philadelphia cruised to a 7-3 final. The underlying metrics on Mikolas held up exactly as modeled — over 9.0 cashes comfortably.

MLB Minnesota Twins @ Kansas City Royals
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Minnesota Twins ML
Final Score4-3
Result+0.5u

📊 Recap

Minnesota held on 4-3, and the line did the work as expected. No dominant performance needed — the Twins covered a mispriced number, and that modest offensive edge was just enough to cash a +111 ticket built on value, not conviction.
