VERDICT — PASS
ML disagrees with market toward Bueno and the fatigue gap validates part of it, but the
qualitative read kills the B side: Bueno is 4W-9L with zero wins above 1550 ELO while
Pellegrino owns DOM wins vs Strong and a near-miss vs Rublev. Backing B at 3.00 needs a
form thesis that does not exist. Backing A at 1.36 offers only +1.5% model edge that the
644-minute workload fully erodes. Half-validated edges on both sides = no bet. Alt
markets unavailable, so no handicap/total escape hatch for the fatigue-margin thesis.
