Why we made this MLB total pick

Sized at 1u — The Over 8.5 has stalled in the last 2 hours. The public bias for this game is heavily on the Over, indicating the books are shading prices towards the Under. This gives us a contrarian edge by fading the public when the line movement is against the public side. Both starting pitchers have ERAs over 3.00 (López 3.18, Liberatore 5.34), and Liberatore has a high HR/9 rate (1.75). Both bullpens are tired, which favors the Over. The Pinnacle fair line suggests slight value on the Under, but we are favoring the Over due to the public bias fade and bullpen fatigue. The negative EV for the Over is against the Pinnacle fair line.
