Game Analysis
This is a data-quality nightmare — no starting pitchers, no weather, no player impact scores. The OMEGA line (Tigers -148) screams value on Detroit, but the Bayesian fusion barely budges (+1.2pp) because the model agreement is very low (31.2%). Sharp money and whales lean Cubs, creating a genuine contrarian setup. The spread (+1.5) offers the best risk-adjusted edge at +3.9pp, but without pitcher data, confidence is capped. Pass on the total — contradictory signals between Bayesian (over) and +EV analysis (under) make it a coin flip. Lean Tigers +1.5 as the most defensible play.
