What the market says

A market we deliberately don't model — the market's own record
MLB run line
42.8% of −1.5 favorites cover

Across 11,969 final regular-season games with a standard run line, the moneyline favorite laying −1.5 covered 42.8% of the time and won outright 58.3%. We publish no run-line projection — the market prices this one efficiently — so this is the market's record, not ours.

Market benchmark — not a Nebula projection.

One number — Lined vs unlined

A model-vs-market number only counts games where we captured BOTH our projection and the market's line. Scoring on anything else would quietly flatter the model, so we don't.
