What Happened Yesterday
Wednesday delivered a clean sweep across the LIVE model. Run Lines³ went 3-0, banking 1.87 units on underdog spreads: Athletics at Texas Rangers, San Francisco Giants at Pittsburgh Pirates, and New York Mets at Tampa Bay Rays all covered the +1.5 number. Closing Line Value¹ on the run-line lane ran median -0.98%, mean -1.67% across three signals — a narrow gap to market close that reflects entry timing. Hits Props OVER⁴ added three more wins for 1.41 units, though the single CLV data point printed -3.86%. The projection engine covered 1,365 player lines across 15 games, tracking 273 hitters through the slate. Mean Absolute Error⁸ on hits projections ran -0.44; if we project a hitter for 1.2 hits and he finishes with 1, that projection missed by 0.2. Total bases delta² printed -0.74, the largest average miss by category.
Shadow research, which exists to test frameworks before they touch real money, went 20-12 but shed 2.75 units. Hits Props UNDER ran 19-10 for -1.66 units despite a 19-win haul — median CLV of -51.39% points to juice drag in that lane. F5 Innings⁵ went 1-2, dropping 1.09 units, with median line movement of -3.50 runs (mean -3.00 runs) by post time. The best graded Shadow signal was F5 Innings on Baltimore Orioles at Colorado Rockies, a 0.91-unit win. The worst was F5 Innings on Miami Marlins at Kansas City Royals, a full-unit loss. Combined LIVE and Shadow activity settled 38 signals across all lanes for a net 0.53 units.
How the Projection Engine Did
Yesterday the engine published 1,365 projections across 15 games, covering 273 players. Mean Absolute Error on hits came in at -0.44, and the largest category delta ran -0.74 on total bases. If you built a same-game parlay around a hitter projected for 1.5 total bases and he finished with 0.76, the engine missed low by three-quarters of a base. The negative delta direction suggests the model underprojected offensive output across the slate — useful context for DFS lineups and parlay construction today.
Today's Card
Thursday's slate drops to 9 games. Run Lines generated 3 signals; Hits Props OVER generated zero. The engine will publish 810 projections across the 9-game card for parlay builders and DFS players. The run-line model points to Chicago White Sox +1.5 at Houston Astros, best price Bovada (-160). Two additional Kelly-positive run-line candidates live on the Signal Board, along with all SHADOW research.
What This Means
Six-for-six days are outliers. The run-line CLV median of -0.98% yesterday suggests tighter market entry. Process compounds; variance clears.

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.
