What Happened Yesterday

Tuesday delivered a clean sweep from our live run-line³ model across three contests. Houston Astros +1.5 at Philadelphia Phillies cleared at +0.61 units, Pittsburgh Pirates +1.5 at Chicago White Sox returned +0.61 units, and Minnesota Twins +1.5 at Detroit Tigers finished at +0.60 units. All three closed with positive CLV¹ — median +3.07%, mean +2.98%. The 7-day CLV trend for run lines sits at median +0.48%, mean +12.60%, and the all-time mark is median +0.48%, mean +4.72%. The model is entering positions with positive line value, consistent with our established process.

The shadow research portfolio tells a different story. Hits Props UNDER went 15-4-0 for +2.57 units, though the entry price was poor — median CLV of -0.67%, mean -18.31%. Yesterday's sample included three Hits Props OVER (research) signals that went 3-2-0 for -0.85 units with median CLV +0.20%, mean -17.44%. Shadow exists to test frameworks before they touch real money, and the UNDER framework is producing results despite negative line value. The 7-day CLV for shadow UNDER sits at median -2.88%, mean -22.73%, and all-time is median -1.10%, mean -16.37%. These results suggest a potential structural edge in the model that the market has not yet priced. That gap is what we're tracking.

Cumulative picture: the live book stands at 199-121-0 for +33.31 units and +10.41% ROI across 320 signals⁷. Shadow research is 482-241-5 for +3.89 units and +0.53% ROI across 728 signals. Seven days ago the total portfolio sat at 830 signals and +34.17 units with 4.12% ROI. Today we're at 1,048 signals and +37.20 units with 3.55% ROI. The current streak is four consecutive days of positive net units.

How the Projection Engine Did

Tuesday's projection engine covered 1,365 player projections across 15 games and 273 players. The largest average deltas² by category were total bases at -0.48 and hits at -0.29. In plain English: if we project a hitter for 1.2 hits and he finishes with 1, that projection missed by 0.2. When the delta sits negative, the engine is running slightly high relative to what players delivered. The hits delta of -0.29 means our median projection overshot the median outcome by about a third of a hit. Tighter than a full hit but relevant in markets priced to the decimal.

Parlay builders and DFS players working with our projections should note that the engine is currently setting slightly aggressive rates. A projection of 2.0 hits may finish closer to 1.7 based on recent delta trends. Adjusting for that spread may assist with lineup construction and parlay selection when stacking multiple legs.

Today's Card

Wednesday brings 15 games and fresh projections covering 1,350 players. The run-line model generated three signals, and Hits Props OVER produced zero — the gate held, which is the price bar working as designed. The named candidate for free-tier readers: Houston Astros +1.5 at Philadelphia Phillies with best price at BetRivers (-162). The rest — including two additional Kelly-positive run-line candidates and all shadow research — lives on the Signal Board.

What This Means

CLV¹ measures entry price against market close. Positive CLV means we bought cheaper than the crowd; negative CLV means we paid retail. The run-line book is buying wholesale. The shadow UNDER framework is buying retail but still returning units, which suggests a model the market has not yet caught. We prioritize process over scoreboard. The ledger compounds when the entry price is right.

Definitions

• CLV¹ (Closing Line Value): entry price vs market close. Positive = bought cheaper than consensus.
• Delta²: projection minus actual outcome. Negative delta = model ran high.
• Run line³: MLB spread, typically ±1.5 runs.
• Hits props⁴: over/under markets on batter hit totals.
• F5⁵: first-five-innings markets, isolated from bullpen variance.
• ROI/units⁶: return on investment (%) and absolute profit/loss in standard bet units.
• LIVE/SHADOW/total⁷: official book / research validation / combined activity.
• Mean absolute error⁸: average miss size, regardless of direction.

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.
