Bradley (0.87 ERA, 12K) vulnerable early season; Twins ML profitable tier historically
TOTAL

Line: 7.5
62%
Model projects 8.0 total but DDN totals losing across tiers; low early-season scoring bias

Game Analysis

Omega model sees dead even 12-12 run expectation with Rays tiny ELO edge (50.6% win prob) justifying -198 ML at breakeven. Both teams hammered by pitcher injuries (5+ IL each side) but Rays depth holds; early season totals fading hard across model tiers. Stick to ML value, pass heavy juice spreads.
