Game Analysis
The market is overpricing the Cubs at -2.2 and -196, while OMEGA's independent model sees a much closer game (CHC -1.0, 46.7% win prob). Sharp money is piling onto the home spread (+44.5% EV at retail books), but the Bayesian fusion shows -7.7pp edge favoring the Pirates side. Prediction markets diverge 9.3% from books — an extreme signal that the Cubs are overvalued. With no probable pitchers and equal injury impact, the edge is on the Pirates moneyline and the over (OMEGA total 10.5 vs market 8.5).
