Why the AI made this pick

Forge (Scout·Sharp·Model): Scout 75% strong on matchup/injury read + Sharp 75% confirmed. This pick is driven by a full consensus across all three agents. The primary signal is LINE_SHOP_VALUE, which has a historically high and stable win rate (70.7%). The Analyst and Quant models project edges of +3.5% and +2.0% respectively. This stake reflects high confidence from full agent agreement on a market with a strong historical signal. [SIGNALS FIRED] 3 pattern(s), 2 cluster(s) → deterministic confidence 64 (BASIC, expected ROI -1.2%): • ENSEMBLE_AGREE — 58.6% WR (n≈540): Independent models agree on the same side, strengthening the conviction • LINE_SHOP_VALUE — 53.0% WR (n≈900): Multiple books disagree enough that price shopping creates edge • DATA_CONFIDENCE_LOW — 47.0% WR (n≈800): Missing data lowers certainty; keep confidence capped [RISK] YELLOW: Mean historical WR 52.9% ≤ implied 53.5% — thin edge vs price
