Daily Recap — August 18, 2026
Record and Units: 39-30, -6.68u
Today's published picks performed with a net loss, as expected from the overall trend. The strongest league was men's tennis, with Amanda Anisimova's win against Alexandra Eala being the standout result, yielding a +0.90u payout. However, the team's performance in major sports leagues such as MLB and WNBA did not meet expectations, accounting for most of the losses.

Note added 2026-08-22: the units above were calculated when picks priced from Polymarket were graded at a mid-market price — one no bettor could actually get. Those picks have since been restated at an executable price, so these figures read higher than the current verified record at mvpcapping.com/performance. Win-loss results are unchanged; only the payouts moved.
