    Why it likes it
    • 8.5-run full-game total anchor implies roughly 4.25 runs through five before the starter-quality adjustment.
    • Two confirmed probable starters are the live participant inputs; the F5 window is the lower-scoring slice before bullpens dominate.
    • 2023, 25 MLB final scores averaged 8.79, 9.23 runs, with medians of 8, 9; the 8.5 anchor is not an inflated run environment.
    • A first-five multi-run inning can erase the roughly half-run cushion immediately.
  2. No 9th-inning draw

    Why it likes it
    • Liquid anchors imply ~70.8% Dodgers win probability and an 8.5-run scoring environment.
    • 18,252 MLB finals show a right-skewed total distribution centered near 9 runs; 8.5 implies roughly 0.94 runs per inning.
    • Flat-rate anchor fit makes a single-inning draw roughly 55%, so non-draw outcomes are near 45%.
    • Bullpen usage and late-game scoring can make the ninth materially different from the flat-rate baseline.

    Why it likes it
    • Confirmed Dodgers lineup has Mookie Betts, Teoscar Hernández, Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy and four left/switch hitters against confirmed lefty Matt Wilkinson.
    • The 1.5-run coherence drift does not identify which of the game or team-total markets is wrong.

    Why it likes it
    • Rule: Dodgers −1 pushes on exactly a one-run Dodgers win; Dodgers −1.5 loses on that same margin.
    • ProphetX prices Dodgers −1 at 65.75¢ versus Dodgers −1.5 at 54.13¢: only an 11.62-point gap.
    • A Dodgers win by two or more is required for a full win; a loss or tie-equivalent outcome loses.
  6. First-inning run

    Taken at 51¢ on Polymarket

    Why it likes it
    • Model fair probability: 56% YRFI versus 50.5¢ live Polymarket price, a roughly 5.5-point edge.
    • Confirmed Dodgers top four: Betts, Edman, Teoscar Hernández, Freeman; Los Angeles posted a .326 xwOBA versus left-handed pitching.
    • Matt Wilkinson has only 19.2 MLB innings and a 4.58 ERA; his recent workload was just 3.0, 2.0, and 3.0 innings.
    • Wilkinson's last two cited starts were scoreless; the recent sample could understate his true talent.

    −100%Lost

    Taken at 57¢ on Polymarket

    Why it likes it
    • Matt Wilkinson’s current Statcast line shows 4.27 xERA, .318 xwOBA allowed and a 4.58 ERA over 19.2 innings.
    • Confirmed Dodgers lineup includes Betts, Teoscar Hernández, Freeman and Muncy; 77°F with 8-mph wind out to center and a 111 HR park factor.
    • Conflict Pass passed: no approved opposing angle; the weak-pitcher fade points toward Dodgers scoring rather than against the over.
    • Jack Dreyer’s .257 xwOBA allowed and San Francisco’s .293 xwOBA versus lefties create a real low-scoring path.
