Daily summary of yesterday's slate, results, and notable changes.

Under the hood

Yesterday's development focused on refining the closing line value system that measures how betting odds move after our picks are published. The team expanded this tracking to cover prop bets beyond just moneylines, recalibrated the profitability thresholds based on recent performance data, and built tools to analyze historical line movement patterns. They also fixed technical issues ensuring odds comparisons use consistent sportsbooks throughout the process.
