New York Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles

Published pick reasoning

4★ official model pick (2u). Frozen distribution shows 8.0% uncertainty-adjusted EV at the offered price (12.1% raw projected EV) and a 6.7-point probability edge versus a 4.1% release floor. The public tier follows that conservative EV after all modeled lineup and calibration uncertainty. Projected score: 4.53-4.11 (8.64 total). Model: mlb_pa_simulation mlb-pa-sim-v2.8.1-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.
