⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and sharp money align heavily on Tigers (55-58%), validating follow over fade amid Detroit’s dominant 8-2 form and stingy defense; Brewers hampered by Yelich/Chourio out, limiting scoring punch. Game projects low-scoring (avg 7.9 runs) due to Tigers’ pitcher depth and recent totals under 8 line. Contrarian under total offers value against public 61% over money.
