Daily Picks — May 9, 2026

No games cleared the 3.0% edge threshold today across 15 evaluable matchups, leaving us with a clean slate of passes. When the market prices the board correctly, discipline beats forcing action — standing down is a legitimate and profitable position.

Passes (market looks fair)

ATL at LAD — waiting on starter announcement from the Dodgers before the model can evaluate this matchup.

COL at PHI — edge exists at +10.7% on Colorado but the model projects them at just 48% to win outright, won't back them as the underdog.

CWS vs SEA — Seattle shows a +9.1% edge but model has them at 51% win probability, not enough conviction to back the favorite.

TB at BOS — Tampa Bay carries an +8.8% edge but model projects 51% win rate, insufficient for a play.

LAA at TOR — Angels show +8.1% value but model win probability sits at 48%, won't back the road underdog.

MIL vs NYY — Yankees present a +6.5% edge but model projects 48% win rate, not backing the favorite without conviction.

DET at KC — Detroit shows +4.8% edge but model has them at 49% to win, insufficient for a play.

HOU at CIN — Astros carry +4.6% value but model projects just 45% win probability, won't back the underdog.

TEX vs CHC — Cubs show +3.9% edge but model has them at 47% win rate, not enough conviction.

OAK at BAL — Athletics present +3.2% value but model projects 49% win probability, below our threshold.

PIT at SF — market has this dead even at 50¢ each, model agrees within noise at +1.7% edge.

MIN at CLE — Cleveland priced at 54¢ looks fair, model edge just +1.5% below our pass floor.

ARI vs NYM — Mets favored at 52¢ matches model projection, edge sits at +0.6%.

STL at SD — Padres at 56¢ looks correctly priced, model shows minimal +0.4% edge.

WSH at MIA — Marlins favored at 60¢ aligns with model assessment, essentially no edge at -0.1%.

Sometimes the sharpest play is no play at all.
