Evidence and Scoring Context
Probable starters and regular-season statistics are verified, but batting orders and present bullpen availability are unresolved. No independently validated postseason probability or starter-adjusted score is assigned. No unsupported numerical forecast range or wagering-confidence percentage is assigned.
A six-run total leaves little room for defensive mistakes. The two strong starter seasons support a pitching-focused preview, but do not establish the probability of staying below six runs.
A likely winner and a favorable price are separate judgments. A -1.5 run line requires a two-run win; a one-run favorite win does not cover. Exactly 6 combined runs pushes the total under ordinary two-way settlement rules; it is neither a win nor a loss.
