Why the AI made this pick

Pinnacle fair line for Under 8.5 is -104 (50.9%), giving us a negative EV of -2.8% at -110. The line has stalled since open. Both bullpens are fresh. Red Sox SP Ranger Suarez has a strong ERA of 2.94, WHIP of 1.13, and a low HR/9 of 0.51. Angels SP Ryan Johnson has a high ERA of 7.40 and WHIP of 1.52. Angel Stadium has neutral park factors. The wind is blowing OUT to CF at 7mph, which leans towards the over, but Suarez's low HR/9 mitigates this. Both teams are on a getaway day. The Red Sox offense has a low OPS of 0.676 vs RHP. Sized at 2u — confidence 67, but with converging signals despite the negative EV.
