The Sunday slate proved unforgiving for our official LIVE models¹. Run Lines³ finished 3-7-0 for a 2.69-unit drawdown. Hits Props OVER⁴ added a 0.73-unit loss at 4-3-0. The shadow research tier showed resilience—Hits Props UNDER netted 5.76 units on a 23-4-0 mark, though F5⁵ innings faltered at 0-1-0. Rangers–Athletics, Red Sox–Pirates, and Yankees–Blue Jays provided the only wins for our run-line positions. White Sox–Tigers, Royals–Angels, Orioles–Rays, Marlins–Reds, Phillies–Twins, Cardinals–Cubs, and Padres–Guardians all resulted in losses.

On CLV¹, our Run Lines model recorded a median +20.11% yesterday, a +3.12% mark over the last 7 days, and a +1.36% all-time median. The Hits Props OVER model sits at -14.64% all-time median. Shadow Hits Props UNDER holds -2.48% all-time median. Our LIVE models⁷ sit at 145-110-1 (+5.37 units, +2.10% ROI⁶). SHADOW models sit at 215-109-2 (+0.23 units, +0.07% ROI). TOTAL portfolio⁷ (live + shadow) sits at 360-219-3 (+5.60 units, +0.63% ROI).

Yesterday's projection engine processed 1,360 player projections across 15 games, covering 272 players. We measure success using mean absolute error⁸—if we project a hitter for 1.2 hits and he finishes with 1, that projection missed by 0.2. Across the board, 270 of 272 graded hitters matched our expectations, yielding a mean absolute error of 0.64 hits, with 86.7% of projections landing within one hit of the actual result. Our engine is highly calibrated for high-frequency outcomes, allowing us to identify micro-edges in player performance that the broader market often overlooks.

Today, August 17, 2026, features a 10-game slate. Our models have generated 2 signals for Run Lines and 3 for Hits Props OVER, supported by 935 total projections across hits, total bases, home runs, RBIs, and strikeouts (187 each). Our primary run-line candidate for today is the Diamondbacks +1.5 at the Red Sox, currently showing a best price of -161 via MyBookie.ag. Everything else lives on the Signal Board.

Definitions

• ¹ CLV (Closing Line Value) — whether the price we got beat the closing price. A measure of process quality, not profit or loss.
• ² Delta — the gap between our projection and the market's line for a player prop; the side where we'd have value.
• ³ Run Line — baseball's spread bet, typically ±1.5 runs.
• ⁴ Hits Props OVER/UNDER — a bet on whether a player records more or fewer hits than the posted line.
• ⁵ F5 Innings — first-five-innings result, isolating the starting pitchers.
• ⁶ ROI / units (u) — return per unit staked; +1.00u = one unit of profit.
• ⁷ LIVE / SHADOW / total portfolio — LIVE is the official real-money book; SHADOW is research tracked publicly but excluded from the official record; total = live + shadow combined.
• ⁸ Mean absolute error (MAE) — the average size of our miss, ignoring direction; lower is better.
