Ask · Model Reads · Line Movement

The analytical edge, not the picks.

An AI/ML research desk for MLB bettors. Ask any question about any game in plain English — verified stats, model reads vs the market, matchup context, and line movement — then make your own call. We don't sell picks; we give you the data and the model's read so you can find your own edge.

The honest version: the sharp market is too efficient for our model to beat outright — so we stopped selling picks and built the desk we wanted instead. Pristine, source-verified MLB data; the model's read next to the market's; and how the line actually moved. You bring the judgment.

What you can ask

Delivered in Discord

/ask
Any MLB question in plain English — “Cubs runs per game vs lefties in their last 10 home games” — answered from verified data, with the underlying rows shown so you can check the work.
/line
Line movement for any matchup: open → T-180 → T-60 → close across sharp books, ML / total / runline. See where the money went.
/matchup
The full read on a game — model probability vs the market’s implied price, pitching, bullpen, park, weather, and recent form.
/rankings · /pitcher · /batter
Power ratings and player lookups grounded in the same source-verified dataset everything else runs on.

How it works

The short version

Read full methodology →
Source-verified data
Every stat is reconciled against its canonical source (Baseball Savant, the MLB Stats API) before it can answer a question — with provenance, so you know it’s right, not just present.
Sabermetric model reads
Three methods vote — a chess-style power rating (ELO), a statistical model, and a tree-based one — over 15 sabermetric features. xFIP and SIERA for pitchers, never raw ERA. Shown next to the market, not as a pick.
Line movement, not tips
Sharp-book odds captured at scout, T-180, T-60, and close. We surface how the number moved and where the model disagrees with the market — the judgment is yours.
