This is a position that explodes with possibilities. I think Junior has some superior positional evaluation in order to choose it. I think all the programs will find it once they complete ply 12. A one pawn advantage is not exactly decisive, but it shows that it does see a clear advantage. I wonder how far until it sees the true line? Any program that happens to pick Bg5 will probably have an advantage here, because it plays itself after you choose it. It does not seem nearly so difficult as some of the LCT II positions (one, in particular, I just have to take on faith, because I really don't get it). Sometimes, you have to see the plan clearly after you make a positional move. Otherwise, it is of no advantage and perhaps even a disadvantage.
