This record restores the missing Morning Scout from verified live market data. It does not create an official wager. Every event on the current board is named below, with its current market and the decision condition that governs it.

Event	Start	Current DraftKings market	Scout decision / trigger
CHC @ CIN	Sep 18, 3:40 p.m. PT	CIN +1.5 (-136); O/U 8.5; ML -143/+119	0u lean: Cubs ML -143. Pass at -146 or worse, after a verified starter change, or with multiple core bats resting.
KC @ PIT	Sep 18, 3:40 p.m. PT	PIT -1.5 (+113); O/U 8.5; ML +158/-193	Pass. Skenes strikeout prop has no current executable quote; Pittsburgh ML -193 is too expensive.
MIL @ BAL	Sep 18, 4:05 p.m. PT	BAL +1.5 (-135); O/U 8.5; ML -155/+128	Pass. Brewers ML -155 breached the documented -150 ceiling; clinch-related rest remains a second risk.
ATH @ CLE	Sep 18, 4:10 p.m. PT	CLE -1.5 (-107); O/U 8.5; ML +188/-231	Pass. Cleveland ML -231 is heavily taxed and the run line adds one-run variance.
BOS @ TB	Sep 18, 4:10 p.m. PT	TB -1.5 (+159); O/U 7; ML +113/-136	Pass. Tampa Bay's price lacks enough separation from Boston for an official edge.
PHI @ NYM	Sep 18, 4:10 p.m. PT	NYM +1.5 (-188); O/U 8.5; ML -107/-112	Pass. Near pick'em pricing and conflicting form do not clear the confidence threshold.
DET @ CHW	Sep 18, 4:40 p.m. PT	CHW -1.5 (+154); O/U 8.5; ML +109/-132	Pass. Division volatility and unresolved lineup/bullpen context keep this below threshold.
TOR @ TEX	Sep 18, 5:05 p.m. PT	TEX +1.5 (-149); O/U 7.5; ML -137/+114	Pass. Toronto is favored, but road price and Texas home context leave insufficient cushion.
ATL @ HOU	Sep 18, 5:10 p.m. PT	HOU +1.5 (-166); O/U 8; ML -120/+100	Pass. Near-efficient pricing and Houston home power erase the required margin.
SEA @ COL	Sep 18, 5:10 p.m. PT	COL +1.5 (+104); O/U 10.5; ML -193/+158	Pass. Coors scoring and weather/rotation variance make the favorite and total unattractive.
WSH @ STL	Sep 18, 5:15 p.m. PT	STL +1.5 (-181); O/U 7.5; ML -111/-108	Pass. Near pick'em market with no verified derivative edge.
MIN @ LAA	Sep 18, 6:38 p.m. PT	LAA +1.5 (-175); O/U 8; ML -115/-105	Pass. Minnesota's slight favorite price does not create enough separation.
MIA @ SD	Sep 18, 6:40 p.m. PT	SD -1.5 (+105); O/U 7.5; ML +179/-219	0u lean: Padres -1.5 +105. Pass at even money or worse or if San Diego rests multiple high-leverage bats.
NYY @ ARI	Sep 18, 6:40 p.m. PT	ARI +1.5 (-171); O/U 8; ML -118/-102	Pass pending verified New York lineup and Aaron Judge availability.
SF @ LAD	Sep 18, 7:15 p.m. PT	LAD -1.5 (-137); O/U 8; ML +248/-313	Pass. Dodgers clinch-related rest risk and extreme favorite tax dominate the matchup edge.

Morning conclusion

Two candidates remain research leans at 0u: Cubs moneyline -143 and Padres -1.5 +105. Milwaukee is invalidated at -155, and the Skenes prop remains suspended because a current executable quote is unavailable. Final Positions must remain separate and canonical.
