⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public leans Phillies on run line but money slightly favors Marlins ML, creating divergence that sim exploits with high +1.5 cover rate in close contests. Sharp money under total aligns with Marlins defensive metrics (3.9 RA/game) and park factors suppressing offense. Overall low-scoring outlook persists with injuries to Realmuto impacting Phillies run production.
