THE PICTURE — what's driving the 12-point gapsized against each other · measured against the line — a stat the market already prices can point opposite its usual read
Umpire's strike zone runs narrower than most — fewer called strikes35%
The home starter strikes out 16.4% of batters, adjusted — a lower strikeout rate than average22%
98°F — heat carries the ball22%
The away team allowing 6.5 runs a game, last 30 — above league average. Priced in, and it went too faragainst the over16%
The home team's catcher loses strikes on close pitches5%
Market: First-5-innings Over 4.0 at -112 (pinnacle, quoted 12:30 PM CDT) · model expects ~5.4 runs · divergence 12 points — band B. B-band cutoffs fitted on OOF 2021-2024; the live record starts with this log. B cards in this market have won 49.2% of 620 out-of-sample grades (2021-2024), -2.0 points over break-even at the close. Not a betting-plan cell.
Frozen no lean at 8:15 AM CDT · the market moved away from it · final grade B. · new at this pass — the morning pass had no lean.

Honest row: grades cap at the band — extreme disagreement is as often our error as the market's. Moneyline gets no grade because our model hasn't beaten that market and says so. Graded against the line at grade time; the model was validated against closing lines. Weather from forecast; regrade if conditions flip. F5 grades ride a shorter history (2023-2025).
