No positive EV on any market; MC sims show <51% on all sides
Model: 47.6% win rate | n=307 — Lean ML/spreads profitable but overconfident; totals losing; vs MTL 6-11, TBL 8-13
FULL ANALYSIS
Dead even matchup per MC sims (45.6-46.1%) and 0.0 spread despite ELO's 3.3pt home lean neutralized by Poisson. Both teams crippled by injuries (Hedman/Cirelli/Hagel IR/out for TBL, Laine/Carrier/Veleno for MTL) cap scoring under model 19.0 total. Recent MTL ML beat TBL 3/31 (+1.42u); no edges exceed 1.2 EV/100.
