Omega total 24.0 vs market 8.0 shows model overprojection, MC under 47.6% at 24 but market total inefficient

Game Analysis

Omega model dead even at 12-12 expected (24 total) with Cubs -223 ML overjuiced at 69% breakeven exactly matching prob—no edge on fave. ELO sees Rays +2.2 home value vs pick'em spread; multiple injuries (Pepiot/Suzuki IL) both sides add variance. Lean Rays +0.5 / ML +223 (profitable tier) and model under 24 given total calibration losses.
