💰 Best Bet #1 Kraken / Puck-Line / -1.5 at +155 / 65% / Sim shows low cover rate but adjusted for home edge and Caps road struggles in recent form; public heavy on home but line stable.

💰 Best Bet #2 Over / Total / 5.5 at -110 / 58% / Data suggests low-scoring (avg sim 5.1), strongest Under, but NHL historical flip favors Over despite defensive matchup.

💰 Best Bet #3 Washington Capitals / Moneyline / +105 / 52% / Even preseason form, sim gives 48% win prob exceeding implied 48.8%; value as road dog with recent wins.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public leans home but money slightly split, aligning with market consensus on Kraken without sharp resistance; no RLM signals contrarian value. Sim indicates tight, low-scoring affair (avg 5.1 goals) driven by even preseason defensive rates (both ~2.5 allowed). Fade public slightly on Caps puck-line as math favors non-blowout.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Capitals +1.5 — highest EV from sim cover prob and stable lines.
