> 4 picks graded, 3-1-0 record, +43.25% ROI, +1.73u — the daily analyst desk report, computed from the public ledger.
The Context
The slate produced four graded picks, all under the Run Lines model. The high-attention games were Boston/Toronto and New York/Atlanta. We were watching whether run-line favorites could be laid at -1.5 with enough margin, and whether underdog +1.5 prices were efficient enough to buy.
How It Played Out
The book went 3-1-0, 75.0% win rate, net +1.73u. ROI was +43.25% on four graded units. The best result was Boston Red Sox +1.5 at Toronto, a WIN for +0.91u. The tough result was Mets -1.5 at Atlanta, a LOSS for -1.00u. The other two winning run-line plays combined for +1.82u, which offset the losing favorite and left the day clearly positive. Run Lines (active) closed 3-1-0, 75.0%, +43.25% ROI, +1.73u.
What Surprised Us
The shape of the day: the one losing pick was the only favorite lay, while the standout winner was a dog +1.5. That is consistent with run-line value sitting on the plus-money side. A -1.00u loss still producing a +1.73u net day means the two non-featured winners were more than sufficient; they carried the portfolio. Also, +43.25% ROI on a 4-pick sample is not a reliable read on long-term edge. The small gap between portfolio ROI and Run Lines ROI is rounding in the model-level calculation.
Model Report Card
Run Lines (active): worked — dog +1.5 exposure produced the best result and the model finished 3-1. Didn't work — the favorite -1.5 lay in the Mets/Braves game was the sole losing position and needs closer review before extending that side.
Bottom Line
Four picks, 3-1, +1.73u: a positive day, but one day and a small sample. We will monitor whether favorite -1.5 losses are clustering; for now the model's edge appears to be showing on the underdog side.
