FULL ANALYSIS
Sharp money hammered home spread (13.2% edge Pinnacle fair +206 vs -112) with RLM on ML despite public 65% Twins. Yesterday's 3-0 Twins sweep validates (ML/spread/over all hit). Omega Poisson 12-12/24 total garbage—realistic MLB 7.5 total undervalues under but tier data kills totals. Injuries everywhere but Twins 50% our prob vs 52.8% implied = tiny ML edge.
