Published by Slam Wager
Published pick reasoning
3★ official model pick (1u). Frozen distribution shows 18.6% EV (11.7-point probability edge) versus a 4.0% risk-adjusted release floor. Projected score: 5.75-4.85 (10.60 total). Model: mlb_pa_simulation mlb-pa-sim-v2.6.0-ts. Inputs: confirmed nine-man batting orders → 50,000 seeded plate appearances with pitch-family matchups, state-dependent starter hooks, role-aware bullpen transitions, shared run regimes, base/out state, weather, park, umpire, defense, steals, double plays, extra innings and walk-offs → one coherent game-and-player distribution. Historical signals cannot add release points; only matured forward-tested residual effects may adjust the underlying score means.
