Why we made this MLB total pick

The model leans towards the Over 8.5 with a confidence of 61. There is a PUBLIC_TOTAL_SHADE_FADE favoring the Over as books are shading towards the Over value, which has a historical CLV multiplier of 1.21. No strong EV signal is present on either side of the total. Both bullpens are fresh. The Cardinals have an average weighted age of 26.54, which is a significant difference from the Braves' average weighted age of 30.04. However, historical data on TEAM AGE does not show a strong enough edge to heavily influence this pick. Both teams have getaway day and lookahead game situational factors, which are often neutral in impact. Sized at 3u — confidence 70, some signals but not overwhelming.
