The setup — the analysis as published at detection, written 14.2 hours before start and frozen for the record. The market it describes has since closed; the outcome is above.

At detection—14 hours before Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox begin play (MLB)—4cx has quoted moneyline decimal odds of 2.05, a level that sits 2.9% beneath the consensus fair value assembled by independent sharp operators. The mispricing is live and accessible as of writing, not a historical artifact.

The consensus draws from 4 independent sharp sources, so the benchmark is grounded in distributed professional judgment rather than any single operator's model.

This signal aligns with 1 historically profitable pattern tracked in our archive—the top variant has realized +10.8% ROI on its settled bet cohort.

The record spans 603 settled bets in baseball moneyline signals at mid-range odds. Comparable mispricings in this exact segment have compounded to +14.9% cumulative ROI, establishing precedent for resolution.

Dislocations of this size do not linger to first pitch. Historical patterns suggest comparable edges in this market segment have typically compressed toward consensus within roughly 9 hours from detection.
