Why the AI made this pick

This pick presents a slight edge due to the line movement and starting pitching. The Nationals' odds have moved significantly in their favor since opening (+214c). While the Nationals have a slightly disadvantaged pitcher in Cade Cavalli (3.98 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) compared to Ian Seymour (4.93 ERA, 1.28 WHIP), Seymour has a higher BB/9 and HR/9. The Nationals have a better L10 record (6-4) and a better RS/g - RA/g delta (0.8) than the Rays (0.1). The EV against Pinnacle is -1% for the Nationals. The DATA_CONFIDENCE is 82, so no penalty applied there. Sized at 1u — LEAN pick, borderline confidence, hard cap applies. [SIGNALS FIRED] 1 pattern(s), 1 cluster(s) → deterministic confidence 63 (BASIC, expected ROI 12.5%): • LINE_VELOCITY_WITH — 54.1% WR (n≈280): Line drifted consistently in our favor (3-5c over 4+ hours) without a spike — slow smart-money accumulation
