What Happened Yesterday

Tuesday brought 13 LIVE signals across two models. Run Lines³ went 2-0, capturing 1.23 units on dog spreads. Colorado Rockies +1.5 at Washington Nationals cashed at +0.62 units. Houston Astros +1.5 at New York Yankees followed at +0.61 units. Both entries carried median CLV¹ of -0.69% — behind the close, but the spreads held. The seven-day CLV¹ picture for run lines shows median +0.23%, meaning we're often entering ahead of late money. Hits Props OVER went 7-4, returning 0.67 units. Median CLV¹ was -3.60% yesterday, consistent with the seven-day median of -3.60% and all-time median of -4.21%. This lane trades entry price for volume — the mean CLV¹ runs more negative due to occasional outliers, but the model remains profitable at scale.

Shadow research exists to test frameworks before they touch real money. Yesterday it posted 21-3 across two models. Hits Props UNDER ran 19-1, producing 7.44 units. Median CLV¹ was -25.35% — a steep entry disadvantage that the model overcame through selection accuracy. That gap between entry price and results points to structural factors in the under-the-total population. F5 Innings⁵ went 2-2, dropping 0.18 units. The seven-day CLV¹ for Shadow combined price lanes sits at median -2.48%, mean -16.73%. The mean's sensitivity to outliers is why we lead with median.

Cumulative LIVE book now stands at 196-124-1, up 29.70 units at 9.25% ROI across 321 signals. Shadow research is 277-138-2, up 0.17 units across 417 signals — breakeven by design while validating structure. Total portfolio activity is 473-262-3, up 29.87 units. Seven days prior, the book stood at 390 signals returning 37.45 units at 9.6% ROI. The current run is 619 signals at 6.52% ROI, up 40.39 units. We are on a 1-day win streak.

How the Projection Engine Did

The projection engine covered 1,370 player lines across 15 games and 274 players on Tuesday. Mean absolute error⁸ and within-one-hit accuracy are not supplied for yesterday, so we frame it in process terms. If we project a hitter for 1.2 hits and he finishes with 1, that projection missed by 0.2 — the MAE⁸ is the average of those miss distances across all projections. The percentage within one hit tells us how often we land inside a one-hit window. The largest average delta² categories yesterday were total bases at -0.73 and hits at -0.44, meaning actual outcomes ran cooler than projected in those lanes.

Parlay builders and DFS players using our projections should account for directional bias. When deltas² run negative across hits and total bases, the slate played under projected offensive output. That information feeds back into today's modeling and helps calibrate future slates.

Today's Card

Wednesday brings 15 games. Run Lines generated 3 signals. Hits Props OVER generated 6 signals. The best run-line candidate is Colorado Rockies +1.5 at Washington Nationals, best price MyBookie.ag at -169. Two additional Kelly-positive run-line candidates live on the Signal Board. The projection engine is covering 1,355 player lines across today's 15-game slate — research for parlay builders, DFS players, and those building their own angles.

What This Means

CLV¹ measures entry price against the closing line. Negative CLV¹ means we entered behind where the market closed — not ideal, but beatable with strong selection. Positive CLV¹ means we're ahead of late money. Median is the robust headline. Mean captures the outlier tail. Both matter. Process compounds over scoreboard noise.

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.
