⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment splits across ML (favoring Mariners) and spread/total (heavy on Astros +1.5 and under), with money aligning more decisively on Mariners ML and under due to pitching injuries across both sides. Mathematical sim and EV favor fading public spread % for +EV on Astros +1.5 while following money on Mariners outright; game projects low-scoring (avg total 8.4) from depleted rotations and Astros’ recent 3.9 PPG offense vs 4.1 allowed. Optimal play follows sharp money indicators without over-fading.

🔮 Recommended Play
Follow the public with Mariners ML — sim-backed edge with money convergence overrides home underdog hype.
