Model: 51.8% win rate | n=552 — MLB 51.8% N=552; H2H small N=3 (2-1); favor ML over spreads/totals per tier data
FULL ANALYSIS
Strong whale action ($84k vol, strong tier, 57% home) provides lone Tier 2 confirm on Astros ML amid zero Bayesian edge and Kalshi divergence to 53% home. Injuries balanced (-7.8% HOU, -8.7% STL, poor quality). No pitchers/models limit conviction; recent H2H Cardinals ML + under hit. Low-data leans only.
SHARP MONEY
Strong whale volume ($84k, strong tier) on home; no sharp book data
Recommended Sizing
