St. Louis Cardinals @ Colorado Rockies

Sat 9/5 · 7:40 PM CDT · forecast weather in the grade · ump: confirmed
FIRST 5 INNINGS
no lean
model 48% over · market 50%
TOTAL
no lean
model 51% over · market 52%
the letter is how far we sit from the market, not how sure we are
THE PICTURE — what's driving the 0-point gapsized against each other · measured against the line — a stat the market already prices can point opposite its usual read
Altitude (5190 ft) inflates scoring47%
Both starters strike out 17.9% of batters, adjusted — a lower strikeout rate than average23%
Umpire's strike zone has run wider than the league this past year — more called strikesagainst the over17%
Team strength & form leans under — mostly the away teamagainst the over10%
The home team below league average in home runs, last 30 gamesagainst the over4%
Market: First-5-innings Over 6.0 at -108 (pinnacle, quoted 6:30 PM CDT) · the full picture prices it +107 · model expects ~6.8 runs · divergence 0 points — band none.
Frozen C at 8:15 AM CDT · the market came toward our number · final grade no lean.
SITUATIONAL CONDITIONSdetected for this game · not a grade input — anything that carries weight appears in THE PICTURE
Heavily used bullpenBullpen arms used two straight daysLow-scoring umpireHigh-strikeout umpire
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).
