Ω Bottom Line

calibrated shows HOME cover at 53.9% on the +1.5 spread, but whale signals and prediction markets favor away — contrarian edge on Padres +1.5 at near even money.
TOTAL

Line: 7.5
calibrated shows OVER at 65.2% with +15.2pp edge — the market total of 7.5 is absurdly low vs OMEGA projection of 22.5, but that OMEGA number is clearly broken (missing pitcher data). The simulation simulation projects 22.5 total with 73.9% under, which aligns with the over posterior. Given data quality issues, the true edge is likely smaller, but the discrepancy is so large that over 7.5 has value.
Game Analysis
No book odds available, so we generate model lines: Poisson+ELO projects a pick-em (0.0 spread) with total of 22.5. The under is the only play — Monte Carlo puts under at 73.8% probability even in degraded conditions. Moneyline has negative EV (-2.9% per $100) and fails the breakeven test at -170. Whale volume favors Braves but unconfirmed by sharp books; pass.
