Game Analysis

Bayesian posterior gives Cubs 62.9% win prob (+1.4pp edge) anchored by ELO overweight, confirmed by extreme $102k whales (76% Cubs) and Kalshi 61.5%. MC sims project 19.9 total (72% under 22.5) but very low model agreement caps edge. Injuries hit Reds harder (-11% vs -8.7%), model 33-14 vs Reds but degraded data reduces all conf by 4pts.
