Tracked results from picks posted on the site before first pitch.
Live results reflect posted picks only. Backtested validation is shown separately below.

ROI by Model Edge — Does Higher Confidence Pay Off?
Edge Tier Performance — 2026 Season
If the model is well-calibrated, higher-edge picks should pay more over time. The live 2026 tiers aren't cleanly monotonic yet — watch whether higher edge keeps paying as the sample grows

Skill vs. luck — could a no-edge bettor have matched this? ▾
We re-ran our exact — settled bets 10,000 times, keeping every price the same and drawing each outcome at the market's implied win rate — i.e. a bettor with no edge taking these same lines. That no-edge bettor finishes around — on average (middle 90% land between —). We actually finished — — better than — of those no-edge seasons.

Percentile vs luck
Why this alone doesn't prove an edge: this test says our results have outrun luck at the posted prices — it does not show that the market agreed we had an edge. We treat the edge as unproven.
Monte Carlo over our exact bets and prices — only the outcomes are randomized, each at its line's market-implied probability. A genuine same-sample test of selection skill vs. luck; makes no assumptions about games we didn't bet.
Team & pitcher splits — fun, not signal ▾
⚠ Tiny samples (min. 3 picks). A 3–0 pitcher at +129% ROI is noise, not a pattern —
nothing here feeds the model or should feed your bets. Shown because we show everything.

All figures above are development-period backtest results (2022–2024, hypothetical). The walk-forward simulation trained each year on prior seasons, but the calibration layer was fitted on this same period — treat these as development evidence, not proof. Live 2026 results appear in the sections above as picks settle.
