Game Analysis

Market total stuck at 3.5 despite Omega 7.5, MC 6.8, and Dixon-Coles 12.8 goals expected—posterior 63.7% over (+13.7pp, +21.6 EV). Vancouver 8-0-1 but Omega even 3.8-3.8 scores and spread 0.0 vs VAN -0.5 yields LA +0.5 value at 55% prob. No injuries/rest flags; mild Carson weather neutral. ML LA +215 offers +10.6 EV but draw risk caps at pass.
