AI Intelligence Analysis

LAD 14-4 dominates COL 7-12 — model overconfident
GREEN ZONE55.7% WR (n=360)Sharp Money: Against Model

Model projects COL +250 at 42.2% (47.5% edge?!) but LAD is 14-4 first place and COL is 7-12 fourth. Market at LAD -312 is CORRECT. Cold Coors (41.3°F) suppresses runs, but Glasnow (4.32 ERA, A- grade ace) crushes Sugano (2.33 ERA, C+ grade). Model overfitting to Coors park splits, ignoring 7-game record gap. AVOID — don't fight the market on elite team vs rebuilder.
