Game Analysis
No actionable edge here. The Poisson-ELO model projects a flat 11.2-11.2 score — which is absurd for MLB (3x league average). This is a known scaling mismatch: the Poisson parameters need MLB-specific lambda calibration. The Bayesian posterior (51.8% home) and Kalshi (54%) both trend home, but $438K in whale volume on the away side (57% conviction) creates a contradictory signal. Without pitchers, weather, or any real book odds, every pick has negative EV. The only faint edge is on player props using actual batting averages (.284 for Rafaela, 20 HRs for Wood), but even those are capped at 58 confidence due to roster uncertainty. Hard pass. Wait for starting pitchers and market lines before touching this game.
