Game Analysis

Whale signal from 15 profitable Polymarket wallets with $184k volume on Baltimore (+93% confidence) is the strongest signal in this game, but it contradicts Kalshi's 55% home probability. The model projects Baltimore at 48% win probability, generating a +5.6% EV on the moneyline at +120. However, poor data quality (44% signals available) and absence of pitcher data limit confidence to LEAN. Spread and total picks show marginal edges but are worth small units. This is a speculative play reliant on whale conviction.
