⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Toronto on the moneyline, but sharp money and high public-money disparity point to professional action on Columbus, justified by Toronto’s key injuries disrupting their offensive and defensive balance. Fading the public aligns with mathematical edges from reverse line movement and simulation outcomes. Overall game scoring outlook leans under, as Columbus’s solid penalty kill and Toronto’s missing firepower suggest fewer high-danger chances.

🔮 Recommended Play
[Fade the public on Toronto] — sharp indicators and injury context provide the strongest probability for value on the underdog side.
