Status

We took Thursday off. Just four MLB games and none tripped the BrownBagBets indicators. No forcing. No FOMO. That’s the edge: patience is a position.

Today the board opens up: all 30 MLB teams across 15 games. Our models are back to full workload—screening openers, tracking steam, grading bullpen freshness, and aligning wager % to confidence.

NFL Preseason Note

NFL preseason is lifting off. We rarely play it—market’s thin, info is noisy—but we do have a couple of triggers. Example: certain spots where the visitor 1H line ≤ –4.5 has long-term signal. If that pops and aligns with pro groups, you may see a sprinkle from us. Otherwise, we pass. Process > content.
