Game Analysis
Yankees are severely depleted offensively, missing Judge, Stanton, and Bellinger. The Monte Carlo simulation projects a total of 18.6 runs, far below the model line of 22.5. The Bayesian edge for the moneyline is negligible, but the under 22.5 carries a strong 72% probability given the run-production losses. Whale volume and prediction markets lean home, but that's a separate market. The under is the sharpest play here.
