Plays of the Day: 19-31, +8%

The headline call went 19 for 31 this week, an 8% ROI. That's the number that carries the site's name, and it's the only record that gets to wear the "Plays of the Day" label.

Everything else below sits underneath it — ranked matchups, stat boards, and the full list of posted plays, which is a bigger and separate pool.

Ranked matchups, tier by tier

Top 3 ranked matchups went 65 of 116. Top 5 went 239 of 490. Top 10 went 456 of 991. The full board finished 5,865 of 16,079.

That's the shape MatchWiz always takes — hit rate drifts down as the board widens, which is exactly what a ranking system should look like when it's actually ranking.
