Recorded market source

Fresh assessment

The earlier decision required an old promotion trigger even when the market remained usable. This revision makes a new, forward-looking decision. The original Mets lean remains a separate 0u record.

Official: Mets moneyline, 0.50u risked. This is a modest analyst position, not a model-certified edge. Break-even at the recorded price is 54.55%; no calibrated win probability is available.

Pitching evidence: Scott 3.76 ERA; Painter 5.54 ERA. MLB probable pitchers. My inference is that the starting-pitching matchup supports a small home-side preference, while ERA alone cannot establish fair odds.

Countercase: Philadelphia is the stronger season-long team. New York's latest win only ended a five-game losing streak; it does not prove a turnaround. Reuters game recap. Confirmed batting orders, a quantified bullpen model and a weather adjustment were not available in this review. Those uncertainties limit this to the lowest official stake.

Entry limit: the recorded price or better. A worse price is a new decision, not permission to change this record.

Candidate comparison — pass 1

The 15-game board was screened; the four existing leans were compared with alternative sides and totals. The old board below is a timestamped snapshot, not a new verification of every number.

Candidate/group	Revised decision and reason
Mets	Best researched small-risk option: starting-pitching case without needing a two-run win.
Padres run line	Retain original lean. A home favorite can win by one or lose its final at-bat; the extra payout requires a margin-of-victory forecast this review does not have.
Yankees	Retain original lean. Do not treat the attractive original entry as an available new price.
Jacob Lopez strikeouts	Retain original lean. No refreshed exact prop quote or workload projection was recovered.
Brewers–Orioles; Royals–Pirates; Blue Jays–Rangers	Near-balanced side markets need a stronger lineup and bullpen comparison before adding another official.
Cubs–Reds; Braves–Astros; Nationals–Cardinals	No independently established matchup advantage sufficient to displace the first-ranked choice. This means incomplete conviction, not proof of zero edge.
Tigers–White Sox; Twins–Angels	Starting-pitcher narratives alone were insufficient for another new side.
Red Sox–Rays; Giants–Dodgers	Starter/lineup confirmation is an unresolved input.
Mariners–Rockies	Run-environment variance makes a total or run line unattractive without a weather and run-distribution assessment.

Adversarial review — pass 2

Rejected an automatic second position in San Diego: a competitive moneyline thesis is not the same as a two-run-cover thesis. Rejected reusing the Yankees' earlier odds. Kept the unverified pitcher prop as an existing lean rather than erasing it. The Mets' opponent quality and incomplete lineup information prevented larger sizing.

Final reconciliation — pass 3

One new MLB official; 0.50u total official risk. Four earlier MLB leans remain recorded at their original terms, including the separate Mets lean. No no-position exception is used today. All outcomes remain pending. One game must not become two official wagers merely because it appeared in several reports.

Market availability update — 9:36 AM PT

This update does not replace any published term. The official Mets moneyline remains locked at -120 for 0.50u; DraftKings was -125 at the recheck, so the original entry was no longer available from that source. The four 0u leans remain locked at their original terms: Mets -120, Padres -1.5 +141, Yankees -138 and Jacob Lopez over 4.5 strikeouts +114. DraftKings showed Padres -1.5 +139 and Yankees -168; an exact Lopez prop quote was unavailable. No second MLB position was added.

Release policy

Maximum three official positions per sport per Pacific publication day, including additions across reruns. Leans have no numerical cap. Official risk scale is 0.5u, 1u, 1.5u, 2u; 0u means a separately tracked lean. This release uses the lowest official stake. A unit is the reader's fixed stake amount, not a dollar amount set by this report.

Each selection becomes a permanent publication record. Original odds, line, stake, classification and timestamp remain locked. Subsequent corrections, availability updates and final grades must be appended. A losing selection must remain visible. A lean and a later official on the same outcome have separate classification records; only the official contributes staked units.

Prices below are CBS-displayed comparison-board quotes retrieved during this review. The extracted board does not identify the corresponding sportsbook by name; these are not claimed as directly verified executable sportsbook offers. Check the exact market and your available quote before using a selection. No fabricated fair probability, simulated model output or guaranteed edge is presented.

Canonical ledger timestamp: 7:37 a.m. PT | Official wagers: 0 | Official exposure: 0.00u

The complete 15-game slate is named and graded in Morning Scout and Grade the Slate. This ledger preserves every published lean at its original terms and appends the current market state. A price update never rewrites the original selection.

Published candidate	Locked original selection	Current verified state at 7:37 a.m. PT	Final ledger status
Phillies @ Mets	Mets full-game ML -120, 0u lean	DraftKings Mets ML -126, inside the published -130 ceiling	LOCKED 0u LEAN — currently inside range; not promoted
Marlins @ Padres	Padres -1.5 +141, 0u lean	DraftKings Padres -1.5 +139, above the published +130 floor	LOCKED 0u LEAN — currently inside range; not promoted
Yankees @ Diamondbacks	Yankees full-game ML -138, 0u lean	DraftKings Yankees ML -148, beyond the published -145 ceiling	LOCKED 0u LEAN — historical selection; not currently actionable
Athletics @ Guardians	Jacob Lopez O4.5 strikeouts +114, 0u lean	Current executable prop price unavailable from the verified feed	LOCKED 0u LEAN — historical selection; current revalidation unavailable
Remaining 11 MLB games	No published selection	Current board documented in Grade the Slate	PASS — no verified qualifying edge

Final decision

Mets and Padres remain worthwhile research leans at their locked original terms, but neither report established an objective official-position promotion trigger and no separate full lineup/availability validation authorizes new risk. Yankees is outside its published ceiling. The Lopez prop lacks a current executable quote. Missing prop or lineup data is treated as unavailable, not as evidence of no edge.

No official position is created. No AUTO_PICKS row is added. The four original leans remain visible and separately gradeable at 0u.
