Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Francisco Lindor / Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI / -120 / 75% / Mets SS hot in 4-win streak (avg 2.1 H+R+RBI last 5), ARI depleted rotation vulnerable to contact hitters.
Player Prop #2: Corbin Carroll / Over 0.5 Runs Scored / -110 / 72% / ARI speedster leadoff with high on-base vs. Mets staff (recent spring 5 runs in 3G), favorable park for speed.
Player Prop #3: Pete Alonso / Over 0.5 RBIs / -115 / 70% / Mets 1B power threat (4.2 team RPG), ARI pitching injuries (Burnes/Kelly out) boost counting stats matchup.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and money heavily aligned on Mets ML but diverge on spread where money favors ARI +1.5 despite slight public lean that way—sharp action likely on close-game projection. Mets defense excels (2.8 RPG allowed last 10) vs. injured ARI arms, projecting low-scoring affair under total. Follow money on spread, ride consensus ML, lean under on pace/efficiency.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Mets -1.5 / Follow money on Arizona Diamondbacks +1.5 — highest EV from sim convergence and split data.
