Longevity
6/10

Feasibility
7/10

Buildable MVP: public MLB Stats API, projection feeds, park factors, and weather data are abundant, and LLM reasoning over a matchup row is straightforward — main cost is keeping projections fresh and integrating league syncs.Starting Pitcher Streaming Tool | DailyWaivers
