Public model scoreboard

Our MLB model tracks the sportsbook market within 4.20 percentage points across 1,855 bookmaker-game comparisons.

We archive pregame win forecasts and sportsbook moneylines, then score both after each final. Each bookmaker's result uses the games where its archived line overlaps our forecast.

The scoreboard

Every number below comes from archived pregame forecasts scored against resolved outcomes. No cherry-picked windows — the lifetime pregame-v3 sample is what you see.

Sportsbooks are a demanding benchmark because their lines react to market activity. Read the comparison method at /vs-sportsbooks.

Public odds services

FanGraphs, MoneyPuck and Kalshi's season markets don't cover single games; they give season-long playoff probabilities. That's the same problem Clinch is solving, so it's the fairer apples-to-apples comparison for our headline product.

Public-odds comparisons appear as matched snapshots land.

Season track record

Model version stays fixed across each row. If we ship a v4 that's better than v3, we won't retroactively rewrite these rows — we'll start a new row.
