One card a day, across every sport, whatever the board looks like.

This page is the MLB rows of it. The sign is the record for everything he has posted.

MLB picks, Tue Sep 22

Three posts at most three picks a day across every sport, so most days carry no MLB pick at all. What is here is what was posted before the games started, priced and graded.

The board he chose from

Every MLB game Three could price that day, with the market that came closest on each one. He judged 96 MLB prices in all across every market on these games; 4 passed both tests. The card is capped at three across all sports, so most of this list is a pass — and the reason each one was a pass is the last column.

Our number is Three’s own chance for that side. Market is the consensus with the book’s margin taken back out. Edge is the gap between the two, and Bar is the gap that market had to clear — each market carries its own, because a total scatters more than a moneyline. A side also has to reach 55% on our own number, so there are two ways to miss the card and the verdict says which one it was. Nothing here is graded: a bet Three did not place is not part of his record, so the board states what he thought and stops.
