Decision coverage note

Decision coverage was incomplete in the pitcher strikeout lane (5 opportunities expired despite a prior decision opportunity) and the additional pitcher props lane (19 opportunities expired without a decision). This recap is complete for the 3 settled Picks that were actually recorded, but the slate does not meet full-lifecycle acceptance. No missing decision was reconstructed, and these incidents do not count as Picks or change the record above.

Postgame review

Lost: Tarik Skubal Under 7.5 Ks

Tarik Skubal finished with 9 strikeouts, leaving the saved under 7.5 on the wrong side of the line for a 1.00-unit loss.

At BetMGM +105, the model gave the under 67.1% against a 48.8% break-even mark, a +18.3-point gap. The saved projection was 6.3 strikeouts across 23.8 batters faced. The pitcher graded 62.3/100 and the opponent strikeout matchup graded 70.5; the confirmed lineup carried a 25.4% strikeout rate.

The actual result finished 2.7 strikeouts above the point projection. The projection supported the ticket, but the actual result crossed to the other side of the sportsbook line. We will compare the same workload, opponent, line, and price profile before changing production weights.
