Game Analysis

Bayesian fuses to 66.6% Cubs win prob (+0.3pp edge) vs -197 juice, backed by extreme $107k whales but against sharp/PM divergence to Reds. MC 10k sims show dead-even 10.2-10.0 with 70.4% under 22.5 (high conf). Very low model agreement + no pitchers/injuries poor quality caps conviction; DDN 51.3% MLB with overconf tiers.
