Movement No movement data
-245 requires 71% breakeven; our 66% model prob yields negative EV on favorite ML. Chicago +200 offers +3.8 EV but low confidence per calibration.
Model: 43.4% win rate | n=122 — Reduce 68-72 to 63-67 per tier data; cap props at 60 w/o lines
FULL ANALYSIS
EDM -245 despite Draisaitl IR is overjuiced; model sees CHI ML at 34% true prob vs 33% implied (+EV dog). Injuries gut both offenses (CHI 4 outs), projecting under 6.5 but totals losing model-wide. McDavid props carry edge but fade heavy fave ML.
