Game Analysis
Model sees a modest edge on Kansas City Royals at +173 and +2.2, but with severe caveats: sharp money and whales heavily favor Boston, data quality is degraded, and model agreement is very low. The Bayesian posterior shows only 39% win probability for the Royals, meaning the +173 odds barely create positive EV. Spread edge is slightly stronger but also contrarian. The total offers no edge. Best practice table requires 8-10% edge for MLB picks, which we don't meet, so these are speculative leans at best. Positive EV exists but low confidence — size accordingly.
