Injury impact roughly equal on both sides (~-8%)No weather concerns (indoor venue or no data)Model agreement VERY LOW on spread (30.5%) — models and market diverge heavilyOmega total (22.5) vs market total (6.5): 16-run gap — extreme model-market disconnect
calibrated favors Boston (AWAY) at 56.3% but the market implies Seattle at 57.6%. No positive EV on the moneyline. The spread shows a better angle: Boston +1.5 has a calibrated edge of +3.9pp, and the +EV analysis flags Sharp Action's spread on the home side at +375 offering +50% EV — but that is likely a data error or stale line. Focus on Boston +1.5 as the most defensible positive-EV play.
FULL ANALYSIS
Total of 6.5 is brutally low for a game with these lineups, even with injuries. Omega model projecting 22.5 runs is absurdly high, but the truth is likely somewhere in between — Bayesian fusion shows near-zero edge on the total (0.0pp), and the Monte Carlo projects ~19 runs total. Sharp money is on home spread, whales lean away, and model agreement is at 30.5% — the lowest tier. This is a low-confidence spot where the safest bet is Boston +1.5 at a +3.9pp Bayesian edge, but even that is fragile.
SHARP MONEY
SHARP vs PUBLIC shows strong sharp signal on the spread favoring home side (15.2% edge divergence). +EV analysis shows home spread on Bovada at +375 with +50% EV, likely an outlier. Whale signals are split but slightly favor away (51%, $290K volume). The sharp spread signal (+15.2%) is the strongest directional indicator.

Edge Summary
Monte Carlo projects 19.4 runs vs OMEGA's 22.5 — Under 22.5 hits at 76.3% in simulation — the only quantifiable edge in a data-degraded game but no market to validate against
