MLB strongest leans

The spots where our model disagrees most with the market — top moneyline, run-total, team-total, NRFI, and player-prop (HR / hits) leans, per market. These are informational research signals, not official plays: an efficient market can still misprice individual games, and this is where we surface those and grade them in the open. Like our plays, a lean only posts once that game's lineups are final — so nothing here appears and then vanishes after you've acted on it. Our proven-edge plays live on the Plays hub; see the full model on the Moneyline and NRFI boards.

◆ Not official plays. These are the spots where our model disagrees most with the market, per book market, shown for transparency and graded honestly. A market can be efficient overall yet still misprice individual games — this is where we surface those. But the biggest, most obvious leans are often efficiently priced precisely because they're obvious, so treat them as research signals, not locks — the record under each market shows what's actually held up. Like our plays, a lean only posts once that game's lineups are final, so nothing you see here can vanish after you act on it. Our proven-edge plays live on the Plays hub. 21+.

Home Runs

Hitters we make a better home-run bet than the price implies — our P is calibrated (not Poisson-inflated). Rare: HR overs are efficiently priced (see the season record), so this is transparency, not plays.
