MLB Los Angeles Dodgers @ Atlanta Braves
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Atlanta Braves ML
Final Score3-1
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The Dodgers took this one 3-1, and the edge we identified didn't materialize. Sale's matchup profile was sound reasoning, but the result wasn't there — we sized it small for exactly this reason, and we move on.

WON ✓Final
Our Pick
NRFI (No Run 1st Inning)
Final Score0
Result+2u

📊 Recap

Yamamoto and Sale were locked in from the jump, combining for a clean first inning exactly as modeled. The pitching matchup and environmental factors held up — a textbook NRFI result.

MLB Milwaukee Brewers @ San Diego Padres
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
San Diego Padres ML
Final Score3-4
Result+0.5u

📊 Recap

The Padres took care of business at home, 4-3, validating our lean on the pitching mismatch. Pivetta's consistency versus May's recent struggles was the right angle, and San Diego's home-field edge did the rest.

NHL Islanders @ Rangers
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Rangers ML
Final Score2-5
Result+2u

📊 Recap

Rangers took care of business in a convincing 5-2 win, validating the model's projection. Shesterkin held firm, and the Islanders' offensive limitations without Barzal proved just as significant as anticipated.

NHL Senators @ Red Wings
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Red Wings ML
Final Score3-5
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Detroit handled business at home, 5-3. The roster disparity held up — Ottawa's depleted lineup on a back-to-back couldn't match a Red Wings squad with Larkin back in the fold, exactly the edge the model identified.

Posted: 10/6/2026 9:00 AM ET
NHL Wild @ Sabres
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 6.5
Final Score2-3
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

The Over 6.5 didn't get there, as the Wild and Sabres combined for just five goals in a tightly contested 3-2 final. The goaltending downgrade logic was sound, but both offenses went quiet when it mattered. A clean process, rough result.
