Washington Nationals @ Atlanta Braves

Published pick reasoning

5★ official model pick (3u). Frozen distribution shows 23.5% projected EV at the offered price; the uncertainty-adjusted lower bound is 14.5% (10.0-point probability edge) versus a 5.4% release floor. Projected score: 5.23-4.35 (9.58 total). Model: mlb_pa_simulation mlb-pa-sim-v2.7.8-ts. Inputs: projected 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.
