Game Analysis

OMEGA model dead even at 12-12 expected score (Poisson) despite ELO favoring Padres by 3.2; blended ML -172 requires 63.2% win rate which matches our prob exactly (0 EV). Pirates missing Jones (60IL) and multiple arms but Laureano/O'Hearn hot early (.360/.308); Padres bullpen depleted (Matsui/Adam IL). Totals at model 24.0 unplayable with calibration showing losses in most tiers; lean tier spreads/ML profitable but overconfident historically.
