WSH @ PHI under 9.5 shows 15.1% edge (model 60.3% vs market 39.7%) — slate's SECOND-best under edge; Andrew Painter (PHI, 7.26 ERA, C-grade, mediocre pitcher) vs Jake Irvin (WSH, 6.0 ERA, B- stuff) both below-average, yet market priced 9.5 as if aces throwing; F5 under 20.1% edge (64.2% model) is ELITE signal; park neutral; NRFI 7.6% edge corroborates.
Key Factors
- F5 under edge 20.1% (model 64.2%) — ELITE slate signal; market implies only 35.8% under F5, massive disconnect
- Total under edge 15.1%: Model 60.3% vs market 39.7% — market is 20.6 points BEHIND; Painter (7.26 ERA) and Irvin (6.0 ERA) not aces
- Painter over-ERA'd in model; real Bayesian ERA likely 7.26 baseline; Irvin similar mediocrity — both starters underperforming
- NRFI 7.6% edge (model 49.8%) — first inning control edge; both starters have BB-rate >0.08
Risk Factors
- CRITICAL: 15.1% edge on total is DANGER historical support per calibration history — high edges correlate with model overconfidence (worst WR 38-45%)
- PHI lineup features Bryce Harper (30% HR prob) and Kyle Schwarber (30% HR prob) — variance risk on HRs despite low-run environment
- Market may have priced these as worse pitchers intentionally (sharp money on overs fading under flow); execute with HALF-size discipline
