Game Analysis
This game is a data-quality minefield. The Omega Poisson model projects a ludicrous 22.5 total, which is clearly inflated by missing pitcher and weather inputs. The market total of 9.5 is more reasonable, but our Bayesian posterior still shows 65.2% over (edge +15.2pp). The Cubs are wildly overpriced at -230 ML (breakeven 69.7%) vs our 60.7% win prob — the real value is on the Rockies moneyline at +190, where sharp ML edge (2.3%) aligns with extreme whale volume. Sharp money on the spread (14.9% edge toward home) suggests the Cubs cover -2.2 is the sharper play, but missing pitcher data makes any run-line pick high variance. Calibration says totals in the 55-62 confidence range have been profitable (70% last 30 days), so the over at 9.5 gets a cautious Lean. The pick with the highest EV per $100 is the Rockies ML (+12.1), but the highest-probability edge is the over 9.5 (+15.2pp Bayesian edge). Recommend splitting units: 0.5u on Rockies ML, 0.5u on over 9.5. Lean against Cubs spread (-2.2) due to sharp divergence but degraded data cap.
