Movement No movement data
No positive EV on ML at current pricing; NJD +130 offers breakeven 43.5% vs our 34.5% prob = negative EV
Model: 47.7% win rate | n=241 — N=241 NHL; reduce 55-72% conf by 3-5pts per tier data; ML profitable at strong tier only
FULL ANALYSIS
Massive 9.8% sharp spread edge on MTL +160 (fair +179 Pinnacle) with +29% EV available; omega even spread ignores sharp action and Devils injuries (Pesce out). Both teams banged up but MTL gets usage boost from Laine/Dach out. Totals suspect with omega 19.0 vs market 6.5 but sharp over lean +4.5% EV.
SHARP MONEY
9.8% sharp edge on MTL spread (+260 EV at Bovada) with strong signal; overrides weak ML sharp away lean
Recommended Sizing
1.5u
Reduced sizing. Edge exists but sample or signal strength is moderate.
