Game Analysis

Degraded data quality (64%) forces conservatism, but the Bayesian fusion still shows Cardinals +2.2 covering at 56.3% — a rare +6.3pp edge against a heavily juiced Yankees line. Sharp money is on home (RLM, whale volume), but prediction markets see 12.9% more away value, creating a contrarian conflux. The Omega line (0.0 spread) is likely a glitch, but Monte Carlo's 46.2% away win rate at neutral supports the fade. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton out, Yankees' offense is decimated; Cardinals' injury impact is lighter. Take the value over the steam.
