Game Analysis
RSL's altitude at 4226ft provides a structural edge that is often undervalued in the market. The -0.5 spread at -110 is fair but the altitude boost pushes RSL's win probability above the implied 51.2%. Over 2.5 also benefits from the altitude over bias (+15%) and NYCFC's porous away defense. No sharp money data available, so confidence is capped at 60 across all picks.
