WHERE WE DISAGREE
30 gaps · SEPTEMBER 13, 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.
WE'RE HIGHER 🔭
41 qualified · scored by the AOTC ledger.
WE'RE LOWER 🧊
42 qualified · published, not ledger-scored yet.
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.

- the player reached the majors
- Resolved by field move

- aged out after 60 days with no resolution

Consensus is the same rounded-median, computed by the same code, from the same inputs as the AOTC badge, cards, and scorecard. Rebuilt nightly by the public data pipeline. Being different isn't being right; the ledger decides.
