Final Score37-34
Result-0.25u

📊 Recap

The Rams covered in a high-scoring affair but fell short in the end, with the Bills winning 37-34. We sized this small for a reason — the model saw near-coin-flip odds — but the result didn't go our way. No excuses; we move on.

MLB Cleveland Guardians @ Tampa Bay Rays
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Tampa Bay Rays ML
Final Score7-3
Result-2u

📊 Recap

The Rays couldn't get it done, falling 7-3 despite the process holding up on paper. Rasmussen's form, Cleveland's fatigue, and the head-to-head edge all pointed the right way — tonight the numbers just didn't convert. We move on.

MLB Los Angeles Dodgers @ Milwaukee Brewers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Milwaukee Brewers +1.5
Final Score4-7
Result+2u

📊 Recap

Milwaukee held serve at home, and the run line cushion never came into question in a 7-4 Brewers win. The low-total, close-game setup we anticipated materialized, and the +1.5 provided exactly the margin of comfort this kind of pitching-driven matchup called for.

NHL Golden Knights @ Wild
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Wild ML
Final Score2-4
Result+0.5u

📊 Recap

Wild covered the process well here — Wallstedt was sharp, Minnesota's penalty kill held firm, and Vegas's compressed schedule appeared to matter late. Thin-slate lean at 0.5u, clean result.
