Game Analysis

Bayesian fusion pulls home win prob to 43.2% from Kalshi 51.5% prior on strong model consensus (30.6% home), creating Rays ML/spread edge in pick'em line. MC 10k sims show 72.5% under 22.5 total (proj 19.9 runs) despite omega 22.5 anchor. Extreme whale volume ($629K) on Red Sox reduces conviction but Tier 1 quant signals dominate; equal injuries net neutral.
