no lean
model 47% over · market 47%
the letter is how far we sit from the market, not how sure we are
THE PICTURE — what's driving the 8-point gapsized against each other · measured against the line — a stat the market already prices can point opposite its usual read
Umpire gives pitchers the borderline call more than most29%
The away starter likely goes only an inning or two — relievers cover most of the game. Priced in, and it went too far — counts toward the under25%
Schedule spot leans over — mostly the home teamagainst the under20%
The home team allowing 3.4 runs a game, last 30 — below league average17%
Defense leans over — mostly the away teamagainst the under9%
Market: Under 8.0 runs at +102 (pinnacle, quoted 7:30 PM CDT) · model expects ~7.5 runs · divergence 8 points — band C. lean, not edge-demonstrated C-band cutoffs fitted on OOF 2021-2024; the live record starts with this log. C cards in this market have won 52.2% of 2,317 out-of-sample grades (2021-2024), +1.0 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 C.

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.
