Game Analysis
The Bayesian fusion for this game shows a massive edge on the over 8.5 (65.2% vs 50% market), a +15.2pp edge that yields +13.82 EV per $100. This is the only signal worth betting, as the moneyline and spread show no real edge despite sharp money on away. The omega line's total of 22.5 is absurd—likely a Poisson model error—but the posterior at the market total of 8.5 is robust. Sharp money on away (4% divergence, +10.1% EV on Bovada) is strong, but the Bayesian fusion doesn't confirm it, so we pass. The over is a small bet at 0.5 units—big edge, but low confidence due to data quality. Player props are weak projections; we include Yordan Alvarez and Josh Jung hits over 1.5 as thin leans.
