⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public slightly favors Astros spread while money leans heavier (57%), indicating sharp divergence from Mariners hype as home favorite; math supports fading Mariners spread given 3-7 skid and low offense (2.6 RPG recent). Aligned ML action on Mariners holds edge but limited EV. Game projects low-scoring (avg 7.3 total) due to Mariners defensive trends, pitcher-friendly park, and Astros pitching injuries limiting big innings.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Mariners spread — Astros +1.5 carries strongest probability with sharp backing.
