⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public bets and money splits align heavily on Mets -1.5 (57%/62%), indicating consensus but overvaluing road fave at Coors where underdogs cover 65% in sims. Sharp action likely split given stable lines; math favors fading public slightly on spread while following over due to venue’s 20%+ run inflation and teams’ combined 10.7 avg recent totals. Injuries hit both bullpens hard, projecting high-scoring affair (11.0 sim avg).

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Rockies +1.5 — sim edge and Coors history outweigh public sentiment for highest EV.
