Game Analysis

No market odds forces model-implied lines. Bayesian fusion shows no edge (0.0pp), but whale signal is extreme: $176K on Rangers across 22 profitable wallets (77% confidence). Injury impact roughly equal (Braves -6.9%, Rangers -7.8%), neutralizing home advantage that Kalshi prices at 54.5%. Weak lean on Rangers +1.5 and ML +120 based on volume-weighted whale flow and comparable lineup depletion. Total (under 8.0) is a low-confidence projection given missing star bats but excellent pitching. All picks are sub-60 confidence due to data quality and model calibration concerns.
