Yesterday's slate was a reminder that market efficiency often masks underlying volatility, as our 34 graded positions resulted in a 6.78-unit drawdown. Within the specific model breakdowns, the Run Lines finished 1-1-0 for a 0.39-unit loss, while Hits Props OVER went 5-5-0 for a 2.24-unit dip and the shadow Hits Props UNDER model landed 11-9-0 for a 4.06-unit loss.

When looking at individual contests, the New York Mets–Chicago White Sox matchup provided a bright spot with a +0.61-unit win, whereas the Washington Nationals–Miami Marlins game moved against us for a 1.00-unit loss.
