Game Analysis
The Yankees are a shell of themselves — Judge, Stanton, Fried, Rodon, and Schmidt all on IL. That's -6.9% team impact and the market is still pricing them as -150 favorites. Bayesian fusion gives Pirates a 47.9% win probability vs market's 40.0% — that's +7.9pp edge on the moneyline at +128. Monte Carlo sims agree: 50.8% away win rate. Whale signals show $151K on away (EXTREME volume tier). The -3.0 spread is a trap — Omega line shows PK. Take the Pirates ML as the primary play; the spread at +3.0 is a secondary lean. Total is a pass — Omega model is broken for MLB totals.
