Game Analysis

Sharp money and +EV analysis strongly favor the Pirates on the moneyline, but the ML filter prevents a recommendation at current odds. The spread offers a modest edge with Bayesian posterior at 53.9%. The total over 8.5 shows a large Bayesian edge of +15.2pp, but missing pitcher data makes this highly uncertain. Data quality is degraded at 68%, so all confidence is reduced.
