- MLB live feed (19:47 UTC):
- Boston led Baltimore 3–1, 8th inning.
- Pittsburgh led LA Angels 1–0, game in 8th but only a one-run lead, so skipped.
- San Francisco led NY Mets 2–0, 8th inning.
- Philadelphia–Atlanta was in the 9th with Atlanta leading 5–4; existing Philadelphia position remains at risk and was held per strategy.
- KXMLBGAME markets checked:
- Boston YES ask 92¢, ample depth. Bought 5 at 92¢ using a 94¢ ceiling; fee 3¢.
- Pittsburgh YES ask 89¢ but failed the required two-run lead condition; no trade.
- San Francisco YES ask 86¢, ample depth. Bought 5, filled at 87¢ using an 88¢ ceiling; fee 4¢.
- Also bought Pittsburgh? No—its lead condition was not met.
- Existing position: 5 Philadelphia YES @ 95¢, held to settlement.
- New positions: 5 Boston YES @ 92¢ and 5 San Francisco YES @ 87¢. No resting orders.

Run complete — no trades.
MLB’s live feed at 18:47 UTC showed Milwaukee–Cincinnati in the 8th inning, but Cincinnati led only 9–7? The feed reported Milwaukee 7, Cincinnati 9, a qualifying two-run lead. However, the Cincinnati market ask was 63¢, outside the required 80–96¢ entry range, so no order was placed. The market closes at 19:10 UTC, leaving too little time for any alternative thesis.
Other live games were earlier than the 8th inning. No positions or resting orders exist. Next run should refresh the MLB feed and check whether any late-inning leader meets both the score and 80–96¢ pricing criteria.
Run complete — no trades.
MLB StatsAPI refreshed at 18:17 UTC. Milwaukee–Cincinnati was in the 6th inning with Cincinnati leading 9–6, so it did not meet the required 8th-inning-or-later condition. Philadelphia led Atlanta 2–0 in the 4th; all other live games were earlier. Therefore, no game qualified.
KXMLBGAME markets within 24 hours were reviewed. Cincinnati was priced at an 85¢ ask, but the game was only in the 6th; Philadelphia was 79¢ and also too early. No positions or resting orders exist. Next run should refresh the MLB feed and repeat the late-inning qualification check.
Run complete — no trades.
MLB StatsAPI fetched at 17:47:16 UTC. No game met the required 8th-inning-or-later condition with a lead of at least two runs: Milwaukee–Cincinnati was tied 6–6 in the 5th; Philadelphia led Atlanta 2–0 only in the 3rd; all other live games were in the 1st.
KXMLBGAME markets within 24 hours were reviewed. Philadelphia was priced at a 79¢ ask but did not qualify by inning; Milwaukee and Cincinnati were 56¢/46¢. No positions or resting orders exist. Next run should refresh the MLB feed first and repeat the late-inning qualification check.
Run complete — no trades.
MLB StatsAPI at 17:17 UTC showed only Milwaukee–Cincinnati in the 4th inning (CIN led 4–3) and Atlanta–Philadelphia in the 1st inning (tied). No game met the required 8th-inning-or-later condition with a lead of at least two runs.
KXMLBGAME markets were checked for upcoming games within 24 hours. The only currently live game’s prices were approximately MIL 57¢ / CIN 47¢, well below the required 80–96¢ late-leader entry range. No positions or resting orders exist. Next run should refresh the MLB feed first and repeat the late-inning qualification check.
Run complete — no trades.
MLB StatsAPI fetched at 04:47 UTC showed all listed games finalized; no game was in progress in the 8th inning or later. Consequently, no qualifying late leader existed.
KXMLBGAME listed upcoming Sep. 6 games, with prices generally near 36–64¢ rather than the required 80–96¢ late-leader range. No positions or resting orders remain. Next run should refresh the MLB feed first and check for a live leader ahead by at least two runs in the 8th inning or later.
Run complete — no trades.
MLB StatsAPI at 04:17 UTC showed all listed games finalized, including Washington–Los Angeles (5–6) and Athletics–Seattle (6–2). Therefore, no game met the required live 8th-inning-or-later condition.
KXMLBGAME currently lists upcoming Sep. 6 games only; no qualifying live leader was available. No positions or resting orders remain. Next run should refresh the MLB feed and prioritize any live leader ahead by at least two runs with an ask of 80–96¢ and displayed liquidity.
Run complete — no trades.
MLB StatsAPI at 03:47 UTC showed two qualifying live games in the 8th inning:
- Washington–Los Angeles: Los Angeles leading 5–4, only a one-run lead, so it failed the required minimum two-run margin. Los Angeles ask was 89¢.
- Athletics–Seattle: Athletics leading 6–0, but the A’s market had no displayed ask, so a marketable entry was unavailable.
I reviewed both corresponding KXMLBGAME markets and order books. No positions or resting orders remain. Next run should refresh the MLB feed and listings, prioritizing an 8th-inning-or-later leader ahead by at least two runs with an 80–96¢ ask and displayed liquidity.
Run complete — no trades.
MLB StatsAPI at 03:17 UTC showed no qualifying game in the 8th inning or later: Washington–Los Angeles and Athletics–Seattle were both in the 7th, while Colorado–St. Louis was over. KXMLBGAME listings showed Washington leading-market pricing at 74¢ ask and Los Angeles at 27¢, but the game-state condition was not met; the Athletics leader was 91¢ ask but also only in the 7th and outside the one-hour market listing window used for active review.
No positions or resting orders remain. Cash: 9,789¢; realized P&L: −211¢. Next run should refresh the MLB StatsAPI and KXMLBGAME listings, prioritizing any live 8th-inning-or-later leader priced at an 80–96¢ ask.
