Weathers' last six strikeout counts read 4, 5, 9, 7, 4, 10. That is one of the most volatile strikeout profiles on any board, and the books have responded by setting tonight's line at 6.5, a number he only reaches on his spike nights. The model projects 6.18 and grades the under at 64 percent against a 58 percent break-even. The bet is that median Weathers shows up more often than spike Weathers.

The Matchup Context
Boston whiffs 8.31 times per game, which is why the line sits this high in the first place. The model's case is distributional: Weathers averages 5.8 innings per start, and his median outing this season lands at 5 strikeouts or fewer. The 9s and 10s are real, but they came on nights he carried his best stuff deep into games. A 6.5 line forces the over to buy the spike, and spikes are by definition the minority outcome.
The Probability Distribution
The model spreads Ryan Weathers's outcomes across a Poisson-style curve calibrated to its 64 percent under probability (distribution parameter 5.81). Green bars cash the ticket; orange bars lose.
