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
16–30 day gap between starts for the home starter49%
Bullpen leans under — mostly the home team18%
The away team allowing 4.7 runs a game, last 30 — above league average. Priced in, and it went too far — counts toward the under12%
The away team walking more than league average, last 30 gamesagainst the under11%
Umpire gives hitters the borderline call more than mostagainst the under10%
Market: Under 8.5 runs at -102 (pinnacle, quoted 6:00 PM CDT) · model expects ~7.8 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.
FIRST 5Frozen C at 8:15 AM CDT · the number held.
TOTALFrozen B at 8:38 AM CDT · the market came toward our number · final grade C. · the morning pass leaned B; this pass stands down.

Heavily used bullpen
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.
