Price movement after our picks
For each pick on a recent card, we keep the latest market snapshot taken after publication and before the start. A pick “beat the move” when other books’ fair probability at the same line ended above the published price’s break-even rate. A changed line is counted separately. Refreshes run a few times a day, so this is the latest pregame snapshot we hold, not necessarily the closing line, and one snapshot says little about skill.
| Sport | Picks observed | Beat the move (same line) | Average move | Line moved our way |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MLB | 21 of 21 | 1 of 19 | -2.1 pp | 0 of 2 |
| NHL | 52 of 52 | 35 of 49 | +0.9 pp | 0 of 0 |

Rays–Brewers Game 2: An Experimental Model Leans Over 6.5, but Bullpen Usage Complicates It
