Game Analysis

Royals vs Guardians is a data-poor game with serious missing signals, but the signals we have are aligned. Bayesian fusion gives Kansas City a 58.1% win probability, well above the prediction market's 52.5%. Add in $107K whale volume on the away side and a consensus opinion from the scoring model, and there's genuine value. The spread and total are shakier — Monte Carlo sees small edges but recent model performance on those markets is mediocre. Stick to a lean on the Royals ML as the sharpest play, with unit size limited by degraded data quality.
