No ML edge on Chicago favorite; Guardians ML offers +4.1 EV at +119 despite model conflict
Model: 52.8% win rate | n=218 — Based on N=218 MLB outcomes; yesterday 2-1 vs this matchup (CLE ML/spread wins)
FULL ANALYSIS
Omega Poisson projects absurd 12-12=24 runs vs market total 8.0 (16pt edge) with bilateral pitcher injuries like Horton out and Guardians bullpen IL. Chicago -143 ML overprices away fav (our 52% prob, breakeven 58.8%) while Guardians +119 home dog hit yesterday. Totals losing in calibration but 16pt omega discrepancy + injuries = over edge; cap confidence on lean tier overconfidence.
