Form, stuff, arsenal, the matchup, and the live market line — the homework you'd normally chase across six tabs, worked into a single card. Built for bettors who do their own research. Not betting advice: no leans, no locks — just the data, in the open.
Researching one pitcher used to mean a half-dozen tabs — game logs for form, Statcast for stuff and whiff rates, a chart for the arsenal, the sportsbook for the line. ForgedPicks pulls it into a single card: search a name, read the whole matchup. Today we go deepest on MLB pitcher strikeouts, with more sports and deeper context rolling in.
Most prop sites sell a winning system. Here's the truth we built on instead: on the public data everyone can see, there's no reliable edge that beats the market's number — the sharp books have already priced it in. So we don't post leans, and we don't sell "locks."
What we do is lay the real data next to the line and let you read the matchup yourself. Where a market is already efficiently priced, we say so — we treat the work as research context, not a promised edge. And a projected number won't appear until a model earns it in honest, season-by-season testing at real prices.
Before you read a single card, here's the part most prop sites won't tell you.
One search and the whole matchup opens up — the form, the stuff, the arsenal, and the market line, side by side. Free, no sign-up, nothing to install. Start at the forge.
