Game Analysis

Omega spread -2.5 vs market -3.5 gives CLE +3.5 value, backed by MC 56.9% away cover at -2.5 and DET Huerter out (-6.9% impact). Bayesian 64.5% DET ML edge +3.7% with whale confirmation, but MC 48.4% home win divergence caps at Sharp Lean. Massive total mismatch (Omega/MC ~180-188 vs 214.5) screams under, but historical totals 48.7% WR limits to LEAN.
