AI Game Analysis

Preseason opener with no lines forces model-only lean. Astros hold projection edge via home field (historical +5-7% in openers) and better intact core despite Pena/Hader out. Mets dinged by Lindor day-to-day and bullpen holes. EV thin at +3.7 but playable at 0.5u given lack of market noise. Fade if rotations announced unfavorably.
