Game Analysis

Sharp money and whales are aligned on the Twins ML — 6.1% divergence from retail books and $132k in institutional volume. The Bayesian edge (+2.6pp) and a +14.7% EV at bovada (-103) make the ML the strongest play. The spread (Royals +1.5) has a thin 3.9pp edge but conflicts with sharp direction, so confidence is low. The total over 9.0 shows a massive model edge but the OMEGA total is clearly buggy (22.5), and totals are historically the weakest market — I'd fade the inflated confidence and only take a small lean.
