CurrentHome -149 / Away +124, Total 9.5
MovementNo significant movement detected
Moneyline at -149 offers negative EV given our 52.6% win probability on home. The calibrated edge (-7.3pp) signals fading the favorite in this spot.
FULL ANALYSIS
The total over 9.5 is the sharpest play here. Bayesian fusion gives over 65.2% vs market 50% — a +15.2pp edge, the largest discrepancy in the card. Omega independent total of 22.5 is clearly a Poisson artifact, but the posterior still favors over decisively. Sharp money is on the home side (-13.4% spread divergence, $1M+ whale volume), which also correlates with higher scoring if Boston covers. Moneyline fade of home at -149 is a contrarian lean at 0.5u, but the data quality warning and missing pitcher info reduce conviction. Spread on Boston -1.5 is backed by institutional signals, but the Omega line of 0.0 means we are chasing a market that has already moved. The over is the highest-confidence pick in the card despite degraded data.
SHARP MONEY
Sharp money (Pinnacle de-vigged fair value) shows 13.4% edge favoring home side on the spread. Whale consensus is 54% home with $1M+ volume (extreme tier). Cross-market signal confirms ML/spread both favor home. This is a legit sharp lean on the home side.
Recommended Sizing

Reduced sizing. Edge exists but sample or signal strength is moderate.
