Editorial Policy

Hard rules

These are not aspirations. A page that breaks one of them does not ship.

No fabricated statistics. Every number is either computed in the browser from figures the reader entered, or carries a named source and an as-of date.
No fake consensus percentages. We do not publish them at all.
No invented games or schedules. We do not publish daily slates.
No unsupported sharp-money claims. If we cannot show you where a claim about market behaviour came from, it does not go on the page.
No fake live odds. We have no odds feed and display no live prices.
No placeholder data presented as real. An empty section says it is empty.
No guaranteed-win language. No locks, no sure things, no “can't lose”.
No automatic publication without validation. Nothing reaches the site without a human reviewing it.
No noindex tags and no unnecessary redirects. URLs that were worth having are kept at the same address.

The word "verified"

We use it only where a genuine checking trail exists. A statistic re-queried against a named source, with the query recorded, is checked. A price someone remembers taking is not. We previously used the same word for both; we no longer do.

Sourcing

MLB statistics come from the MLB Stats API. Every article carrying statistics displays the source and the date those figures were current as of, at the foot of the page, along with an explicit list of what is not checked — which always includes odds, stake sizes and any characterisation of where money is going.

Where an article has been checked claim by claim, the manifest is published as JSON at /facts/ and linked from the article. It records what was published, what the source returned, the endpoint queried and the date.

Corrections

Errors are corrected on the page and logged in a visible corrections section with the date, the old value, the new value and the source. The structured-data dateModified field is advanced only when a correction has actually been made, so it carries information rather than tracking a build.

We do not delete articles to hide errors and we do not silently edit them.

Analysis is opinion

Our analysis articles contain a person's betting reads. Those are opinions, not data, and they are not tracked or graded here. The statistics supporting them are checked; the conclusions drawn from those statistics are not, and cannot be. Treat them accordingly.

Commercial content

Sportsbook links are affiliate links and are labelled where they appear, not only in the footer. A commission does not buy placement in a guide, a calculator or an article. See the full disclosure, including our related-party relationship with Trust My Record.
