Game Analysis
The market is overpricing Boston's spread by 1.7 points relative to Omega's independent line. Bayesian fusion gives Cleveland a 58.2% cover probability at +2.2, yielding +11.1 EV per $100. Whale activity ($123K volume) and Pinnacle's de-vigged fair value (67.3%) both align with the away side. Missing pitcher data adds uncertainty, but the quantitative edge is clear and meets the 8% MLB edge floor. Sharp money conflict on spread is likely due to a Bovada outlier line (+425 home), not the consensus -2.2. Lean on Guardians +2.2.
