How this board is ranked

  • Timestamped market prices and structured event evidence are evaluated together.
  • Model-supported picks rank ahead of lower-confidence market leans.
  • When positive EV is not confirmed, the board still gives a side for each game and labels it as a lean.
  • Preseason rotation and playing-time uncertainty can make lean prices move quickly.
