Model has CHC at 51.3%, market at 48.3% — essentially a coin flip. Cubs' 6.8 RPG vs STL's 3.0 RPG is a massive offensive comparison. Model's 9.32 total is 0.82 runs above market 8.5; SHAP shows away offense driving both predictions. Pallante's 3.77 ERA over 112 IP is solid but CHC bats are the real story here.
