MLB Cleveland Guardians @ Chicago White Sox
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Chicago White Sox ML
Final Score9-5
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The Guardians pulled away convincingly, 9-5, and the White Sox never made it a game. A marginal edge at near-even odds means variance will show up — this was one of those nights.

NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Dallas Cowboys
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 47.5
Final Score24-16
Result-1u

📊 Recap

The over never got off the ground — a 24-16 final left us well short of the 47.5 total. Both offenses underperformed our projections significantly, and the result didn't go our way. We'll move on.

NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Dallas Cowboys
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Cowboys -8.5
Final Score24-16
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

Dallas fell short, 24-16, failing to cover the -8.5. The structural edge we identified didn't materialize on the scoreboard — that's the game. We'll take the process, accept the result, and move forward.

NHL Mammoth @ Bruins
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Mammoth ML
Final Score1-6
Result-1u

📊 Recap

The Mammoth ML didn't come close, falling 6-1 in a game that went Boston's way from the jump. The structural edge in our model was real, but the puck didn't cooperate — variance happens, and the process behind this one remains sound.

NHL Wild @ Lightning
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Lightning ML
Final Score2-3
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Lightning held serve at home, 3-2, as the rest and travel edge we identified played out. Vasilevskiy and Tampa's defensive structure were the difference late — exactly the situational advantage our model flagged.

NHL Canucks @ Hurricanes
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Hurricanes -1.5
Final Score2-7
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Hurricanes -1.5 cashed in dominant fashion, with Carolina's defensive structure doing exactly what the model anticipated against a shorthanded Vancouver squad. The 7-2 final was a clean cover and a clean process.

Posted: 10/8/2026 8:55 AM ET
NHL Maple Leafs @ Golden Knights
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Golden Knights ML
Final Score3-4
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Golden Knights held serve at home, winning 4-3 in a tight one. The structural edge held up — Vegas's disciplined play and Toronto's fatigue/goaltending concerns were real factors, and our 63.5% model probability proved well-calibrated against the market.
