Daily refresh overdue. Latest snapshot: 2026-10-18 (12 days old). These rankings reflect that snapshot.

The outside prospect boards behind these gaps were last refreshed AUGUST 3, 2026, past our 7-day freshness bar — the field's ranks may have moved since. We refresh boards on their own cadence, not daily.

CONSENSUS GAPS

WHERE WE DISAGREE

30 gaps · OCTOBER 18, 2026

The prospects where the ValuCast board sits furthest from the public consensus (median of 3+ outside boards), in both directions. Every row is a testable claim: the higher side feeds the publicly scored ledger; fades are published but not ledger-scored yet — we say so rather than borrow credibility.

How this is scored

The field ranks come from outside boards last refreshed AUGUST 3, 2026 — the divergence is measured against that vintage, not today's boards.

Gaps under 25 spots don't qualify, call-ups are excluded (boards delist them — that's eligibility, not disagreement), and one symmetric depth rule applies to both sides: our rank and the field's must sit inside the top 300. Deeper than that, a rank is a sample-size statement (ours) or past the boards' reliable depth (theirs) — not a price, so we don't publish it as a call.

CLAIM LEDGER 🧾

Every disagreement above is logged as a dated claim and tracked until something settles it — a call-up, the field moving, us backing off, or the clock running out.

Every gap becomes a dated claim that must resolve or expire — both sides now, not just the higher one. Claims age out after 60 days if nothing settles them.

Open: still live, nothing has settled it yet
Resolved by call-up: the player reached the majors
Resolved by field move: the outside consensus came toward our rank
Retracted: we backed off the call ourselves
Expired: aged out after 60 days with no resolution
