FULL ANALYSIS
Omega Poisson dead-even at 12-12 but market -163 DET implies 62% win prob vs our 58% STL—+5.2 EV on Cardinals ML after yesterday's loss. Total 7.5 vs model 24.0 screams over but tier data shows totals bleeding red ink. Skubal (0.69 ERA) dominates but Liberatore undervalued at 1.64 ERA.
