What Happened Yesterday
Monday delivered a split across our LIVE lanes. Run Lines³ went 3-1, banking 0.88 units across four contests. Detroit at Minnesota took the loss — Tigers failed to cover +1.5. The other three landed: San Francisco at Atlanta, New York at Tampa Bay, and Seattle at Boston cashed as underdogs. The CLV¹ picture shows a median of -3.77% on four signals, mean -3.67%. Entering behind the market and winning suggests a divergence in model versus market valuation.
Hits Props OVER⁴ ran the table: 5-0, returning 2.39 units. Two signals graded, median CLV of -22.07%. That indicates a significant entry price variance. Over the past seven days, this model sits at median -4.21% CLV with mean -20.76%; the gap between median and mean indicates outlier bets influencing the average. All-time, the model shows median -4.21% and mean -20.53%. The model identifies edge despite market movement.
The SHADOW research portfolio tests frameworks before they touch real money. Yesterday it went 19-5 across 24 signals, delivering 4.27 units. Hits Props UNDER led with 18-5, adding 3.36 units — median CLV flat at 0.00%, mean +0.21%. San Diego at Cincinnati won at +1.05 units. San Francisco at Atlanta lost a full unit. F5 Innings⁵ added one win for 0.91 units. Seven-day SHADOW CLV sits at median -0.30%, mean -9.69%. The cumulative picture: LIVE models at 204-125-1, up 32.97 units and 9.99% ROI across 330 signals. SHADOW at 296-143-2, up 4.44 units and 1.01% ROI across 441 signals. Total portfolio 27-6 yesterday, 771 signals year-to-date, up 37.41 units at 4.85% ROI. Seven days ago we sat at 582 signals and 31.23 units. The win streak stands at two days.
How the Projection Engine Did
The engine covered 1,085 player projections across 12 games and 217 players yesterday. Mean absolute error⁸ and percentage within one hit are process checks. If we project a hitter for 1.2 hits and he finishes with 1, that projection missed by 0.2. The largest average deltas² ran negative: total bases -0.74, hits -0.45. When the engine runs cold, hitters underperformed projections. Parlay builders leaning on our projections faced a difficult environment. The delta direction indicates whether the slate ran hot or cold relative to model expectation.
Today's Card
Tuesday brings 15 games and 1,350 projections. Run Lines generated three signals. Hits Props OVER generated five. The Kelly-positive run-line candidate is Miami Marlins +1.5 at Kansas City Royals — best price BetMGM at +165. Two additional run-line candidates live on the Signal Board, along with all SHADOW research. The projection coverage expands to 15 games — every hitter, every starter, and every relevant prop market modeled before first pitch.
What This Means
CLV is a process metric. Negative median CLV indicates entries after sharp market movement. Winning with negative CLV suggests the model identifies value the closing line does not. The gap between median and mean flags outlier bets — when mean runs more negative than median, late-moving prices influence the average while the typical signal enters closer to market. Process over results. Ledger over narrative.

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.
