📉 Line Movement
Stable across books (Yankees -162 ML, -1.5 +125; total steady at 8.5) with consistent heavy Yankees action.

+3.2% on Yankees spread/ML convergence; sim probs exceed implied odds (e.g., 62% win > 61.8% breakeven).
Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Aaron Judge / Over 1.5 Total Bases / 1.5 at -120 / 68% / Judge thrives at home (high wOBA vs RHP), Yankees’ offense averages 5 RPG recently; favorable matchup vs depleted Orioles arms.
Player Prop #2: Gunnar Henderson / Under 0.5 HR / 0.5 at -150 / 72% / Henderson’s ISO regressed in recent games (0.180 last 10); Yankees pitching suppresses power (low HR/9 allowed).
Player Prop #3: Gerrit Cole / Over 5.5 Strikeouts / 5.5 at -115 / 65% / Even on IL recovery, Cole’s elite K-rate (11+ K/9 career) vs Orioles’ high-K lineup (24% rate); recent sims hit 70% in starts.
⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment aligns with sharp money on Yankees across ML/spread, justified by 8-2 hot streak, home dominance, and 7-2 series win over Orioles; no RLM but EV positive on home side. Fade unnecessary as math confirms follow. Game projects low-scoring (avg 9 runs, under edge) due to Yankees’ stingy D (2.6 allowed) and mutual pitching injuries limiting offenses.
