What Happened Yesterday

Saturday hurt. Run Lines³ went 1-2, dropping 1.39 units across three contests. Houston catching +1.5 at the Mets failed. Milwaukee — same story, Rangers couldn't stay within a run and a half. Only Kansas City saved the lane from a sweep, covering +1.5 at Cleveland for 0.61 units.

Hits Props OVER⁴ went 3-3, surrendering another 1.54 units. CLV¹ told part of the story: median entry price sat at -56.61% on yesterday's two-signal sample — we opened behind closing lines. The seven-day median for this lane sits at -4.54%, with the mean at -24.82%, flagging outlier movement. Results and entry price both worked against us.

Shadow research — which exists to test frameworks before they touch real money — performed differently. Hits Props UNDER ran 13-5, returning 0.22 units on a median CLV of -1.20%. F5 Innings⁵ split 1-1, giving back 0.09 units on a median line movement of -4.00 runs. Baltimore F5 at Oakland returned 0.91 units. Pittsburgh F5 at St. Louis dropped the full stake. Shadow models are not part of the official book, but they are tracked for validation under live conditions.

The projection engine covered 1,365 player lines across 15 games, tracking 273 hitters. Mean absolute error⁸ and within-one-hit percentage measure how projections cluster around outcomes. Largest average delta² appeared in total bases at -0.74, with hits trailing at -0.45. If we project a hitter for 1.2 hits and he finishes with 1, that projection missed by 0.2. Saturday's offenses leaned into power more than recent trends predicted.

LIVE portfolio trend: seven days ago the book stood at 523 signals, +37.25 units, 7.12% ROI. As of Saturday close: 707 signals, +27.18 units, 3.84% ROI. The cumulative LIVE record sits at 196-124-1, holding +29.70 units at 9.25% ROI across 321 graded signals. Shadow research totals 277-138-2, +0.17 units, 0.04% ROI over 417 signals. Current streak: two straight days of net losses. CLV picture on Run Lines remains flat at median +0.00% over the last seven days, mean at -1.90%. Hits Props OVER median sits at -4.54%, but the mean at -24.82% flags sharp adverse moves.

How the Projection Engine Did

Saturday's 1,365 projections spanned 15 games and 273 players. The engine's largest misses came in total bases, undershooting by 0.74 hits on average, and hits at -0.45. When projections trend negative across power categories, hitters outperformed the model's baseline — more extra-base hits, more total bases than the engine anticipated.

If you built lineups Saturday around our hit projections and the average player beat his line by half a hit, your cumulative totals climbed differently than expected. The -0.74 delta in total bases suggests Saturday's offenses found power the model didn't anticipate. Short samples fluctuate — projection error measures process, not prediction.

Today's Card

Sunday brings 14 games. Run Lines generated three signals. Hits Props OVER added six more. The projection engine published 1,290 player lines — research for parlay builders, DFS stacks, and anyone assembling a stat-driven card. One run-line candidate ranks Kelly-positive today: Cincinnati catching +1.5 at the Cubs, best price Bovada at -175. The rest — including all SHADOW research and two additional run-line candidates — lives on the Signal Board.

What This Means

CLV measures entry price against closing line. Median CLV isolates the typical signal; mean CLV flags outlier movement. Saturday's LIVE book entered behind closing lines in both active lanes. When results and entry price both miss, we note it and move to the next card. Seven-day Run Lines CLV sits flat at median +0.00%. Hits Props OVER median at -4.54% suggests line pressure, but the mean at -24.82% points to sharp adverse moves dragging the average. Short stretches fluctuate. The all-time LIVE book holds +29.70 units across 321 signals — a 9.25% ROI built one signal at a time.

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.
