The season, by the numbers.

Late March through the College World Series. Every pick graded from the send-time ledger — no cherry-picking, no rewriting the record after the fact.

The stars meant something

Higher conviction, higher hit rate.

We rate every pick 1–5 stars by how strongly the signals agree. Each tier of conviction won more often than the one below it.

The probabilities were honest

When we said 70%, they won ~70%.

A win probability is only useful if it's calibrated. Each dot is a group of picks — the closer it sits to the dotted line, the more our stated confidence matched what actually happened. Bigger dot, more games.

Predicted vs. actual win rate
Perfect calibration
Across the meat of the board (50–89%, 1,155 of our calls) our probabilities tracked reality within a few points. At the very top (90%+, just 32 games) we ran a little hot — exactly the kind of thing we're tightening for next year.

Pick of the year

The call the market didn't see coming.

April 11, 2026
NC State over Duke

The book hung NC State as a +170 home underdog — an implied ~37% to win. Our model disagreed, rating them a 55% favorite and stamping it a 4-star pick. The Wolfpack didn't just win — they ran Duke off the field.

What's next

Picking winners isn't the same as beating the market. This off-season we're rebuilding how we measure and price our edge — testing every change against the closing line before it ever reaches your inbox. The goal for 2027: sharper picks you can trust.

We'll be back for first pitch in February. Until then — thanks for a great season.
