OPTIMUS II projected a 4.15–2.73 score in the Yankees’ favour — 6.88 total runs, with a first-five projection of 3.64. Two depleted lineups helped: New York were without Judge, Bellinger and Stanton, Toronto without Guerrero. The central range sat between six and seven runs.
≈ 6.88 combined vs a 7.5 line — and a 3.64 first-five projection underneath it.
The read leaned on two measured edges to New York — a stronger offensive index and a sharp starter in Schlittler — with the expectation that he would keep Toronto below three while the Yankees finished around four.
Best selection of the 33 paired markets supplied — the Under was the model’s preferred route through a low-total projection.
The expected script was straightforward: Schlittler keeping Toronto under three, the Yankees finishing near four, and the total landing in the six-to-seven band. The reservation was never the projection — it was the price, which is why this sat at a half-unit rather than a full position.
Fisher was serving only as the opener, and Toronto’s subsequent bullpen-game path raised variance — a parade of fresh arms can just as easily suppress runs or hand them out in bunches. That uncertainty, plus a position that held up in only one of seven conservative states, is what kept the stake at 0.5 units.
