+11% on Brewers +1.5 — 74% sim cover vs 61% implied; contrarian value vs public steam on Yankees amid pitching injuries.

Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Aaron Judge / Over 1.5 Total Bases / 1.5 at -110 / 72% / Judge thrives in high-leverage spots vs NL teams; Yankees offense avg ~4 RPG recently, Brewers missing Yelich weakens OF coverage.
Player Prop #2: Willy Adames / Over 0.5 Hits / 0.5 at -125 / 75% / Adames hot in Brewers’ recent 6-4 run (5.7 RPG); Yankees bullpen vulnerable without Rodón/Clarke depth.
Player Prop #3: Gleyber Torres / Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI / 1.5 at -115 / 70% / Torres usage dips vs strong Brewers D (2.8 allowed); sim projects low-output game for Yanks secondary hitters.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public bets (66%) and money (70%) align heavily on Yankees ML/spread, signaling consensus but overvaluing despite missing Cole, Rodón, and Stanton—creating value fading on Brewers +1.5 where sim projects 74% cover. Brewers’ recent defensive metrics (2.8 RPG allowed) clash with public over-optimism on Yankees offense, supporting contrarian spread play. Overall low-scoring outlook (avg sim total 8.0) with Under holding edge amid injuries and strong Brewers pitching.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on New York Yankees — Brewers +1.5 offers superior math/EV in projected close contest.
