Frequently asked
What's the model's edge on St. Louis Cardinals @ Milwaukee Brewers?
The Lakeshore Edge model rates St. Louis Cardinals at 46% to win or cover, versus FanDuel's implied 43% — a marginal edge of +1.6pt. That gap is what the model flags as a potential bet; the model has averaged +4.2pt CLV across 145 graded singles, meaning prices it picks tend to drift in the bettor's favor before close.
How likely is St. Louis Cardinals to win according to the model?
46% by the Lakeshore Edge model. Polymarket's real-money traders price the same outcome at 35.5%. The model blends Elo, recent form, sport-specific factors (pitching, injuries, weather), and live line movement to land on that number.
What's closing-line value (CLV) and why does it matter?
Closing-line value is how much your entry price beats the market's closing price on the same bet. If you pick a side at FanDuel -130 and the line closes at -150, the line moved 4pp toward your side after you locked in — that's positive CLV. CLV is the leading indicator of long-run profit because it's the metric that survives variance: a sustained positive CLV means you're consistently getting a better price than the consensus market settles on. Lakeshore Edge averages +4.2pt CLV on 145 graded singles, beating the close on 88% of them.
How has the model done on St. Louis Cardinals picks recently?
Over the last 60 days the model has made 25 St. Louis Cardinals picks, going 14-5 (74% win rate) averaging +1.99pt CLV with 19.1% ROI. Recent-team performance is a small slice; treat it as context for tonight's call rather than a guarantee.
