Game Analysis

Dead even matchup at 12-12 expected scores, MC sims 46.6% Rays win vs omega ML -167 favoring Rays 37% but ELO sees Rays +3.9 edge. Multiple injuries both sides (Suzuki IL for Cubs, Pepiot/Rasmussen issues Rays) but model vs teams strong. Totals tough with losing tier data, under 47.8% MC lean despite high 24 line.
