LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Cincinnati Reds ML
Final Score1-7

The Reds dropped this one 7-1 despite the structural edge we identified. Singer and the offense never got going — Washington's bullpen didn't need to be tested. The process was sound; the result wasn't.

MLB Athletics @ Boston Red Sox
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 9.5
Final Score4-3
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

The Over 9.5 didn't cash, as both offenses went quiet in a 4-3 final. The process was sound — weak pitching, favorable conditions, a strong projection — but baseball will do that sometimes. Take the L, move on.

MLB Atlanta Braves @ New York Yankees
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
New York Yankees ML
Final Score2-1
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Yankees fell 2-1 in a tight one. Schlittler's strong profile held up on paper, but low-scoring games carry inherent variance — one swing was the difference, and Atlanta's bats didn't need much against a Yankees offense that couldn't answer.

MLB New York Mets @ Pittsburgh Pirates
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Pittsburgh Pirates ML
Final Score11-1
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The Pirates were blown out 11-1, a decisive result that went well beyond normal variance. We identified a legitimate edge in the model, but Pittsburgh couldn't execute, and the Mets made us pay — clean loss, no process concerns.

Miami Marlins ML

MLB Minnesota Twins @ Milwaukee Brewers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Milwaukee Brewers -1.5
Final Score3-4
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

Milwaukee dropped a tight one, 4-3, costing us the -1.5. The structural edge was real — Misiorowski and the bullpen held their own — but a one-run margin in baseball is always variance territory, and tonight it didn't break our way.

MLB Chicago Cubs @ Kansas City Royals
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Chicago Cubs ML
Final Score10-2
Result+1.5u

📊 Recap

The Cubs delivered in a big way, with the process holding up exactly as drawn — Dobnak's surface-level ERA masked real vulnerabilities, and Kansas City's struggling offense had no answers. A clean 10-2 result validated the FIP-driven read.

WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Detroit Tigers ML
Final Score3-1

📊 Recap

Detroit covered the gap we identified, winning 3-1 as San Francisco's pitching vulnerabilities held up under scrutiny. Webb's regression risk and the bullpen disparity did the work — a clean result on a thin but well-reasoned edge.

MLB Los Angeles Dodgers @ Arizona Diamondbacks
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Arizona Diamondbacks +1.5
Final Score2-4
Result+2u

📊 Recap

Arizona covered comfortably, with the Diamondbacks keeping it close in a 4-2 loss that never required the full 1.5-run buffer. Wrobleski's underlying regression concerns proved valid, and Rodriguez's strong ERA held up on the mound.

MLB Tampa Bay Rays @ Seattle Mariners
