Game Analysis

Omega model dead-even at 12-12 scores (24 total) but ELO favors Nats 56% win (1444>1401 rating, +1.7 spread). Nats rotation decimated (4 SPs IL/out) but Cardinals missing Nootbaar/Winn/Henderson; early season projections inflated. Moneylines profitable in calibration but -184 juice kills EV; fade props given 24% WR.
