Game Analysis

Limited data on Cubs @ Orioles. Bayesian posterior shows a near-even game (51.2% home), but the book shades away (-118). Whale volume is heavily on the away side ($279k, 84% conviction), while prediction markets slightly favor home (53.5%). No sharp/public or line movement data to resolve the conflict. With only 44% signal availability, all picks are low-confidence leans. The spread pick on Cubs +1.5 offers the most potential value if the game is close, but bet small given the uncertainty.
