Game Analysis
The market is structurally inconsistent: Houston is -124 on the ML but -2.2 on the spread — that pricing implies a 1.5+ run expected margin that the total (8.0) and OMEGA's independent line (HOU -0.5, total 9.5) don't support. Bayesian fusion gives the White Sox +10.4pp on the +2.2 alt spread, and Bovada's +315 is a +50% EV number. No probable pitchers are announced, which keeps everything low-confidence, but the over at 8.0 also carries +3.7pp with a 12.1% push cushion. This is a quantity-over-confidence spot: take the plus-money spread and the over, skip the negative-EV ML.
