Odds Breakdown & EV Calculations
1. Moneyline
- Reds (-333): Implied probability = 76% (1 / 1.33).
- Adjusted probability = (76% + 59% favorite win rate) / 2 = 67.5%.
- EV = 67.5% - 76% = -8.5% (Negative value).
- Rockies (+335): Implied probability = 29.85% (1 / 3.35).
- Adjusted probability = (29.85% + 41% underdog win rate) / 2 = 35.4%.
- EV = 35.4% - 29.85% = +5.5% (Positive value).

2. Run Line
- Reds -1.5 (-150): Implied probability = 60%.
- Adjusted probability = (60% + 67.5% favorite win rate) / 2 = 63.75%.
- EV = 63.75% - 60% = +3.75% (Positive value).
- Rockies +1.5 (+225): Implied probability = 30.8%.
- Adjusted probability = (30.8% + 35.4% underdog win rate) / 2 = 33.1%.
- EV = 33.1% - 30.8% = +2.3% (Positive value).

3. Totals
- Over 10.5 (1.95): Implied probability = 51.3%.
- Historical context: Rockies’ 5.66 ERA + Reds’ 100 HRs = Over is undervalued.
- Adjusted probability = 55% (based on Rockies’ porous pitching).
- EV = 55% - 51.3% = +3.7% (Positive value).
- Under 10.5 (1.87): Implied probability = 53.5%.
- Adjusted probability = 45% (Singer’s 3.80 ERA vs. Rockies’ 4.89 ERA).
- EV = 45% - 53.5% = -8.5% (Negative value).

Best Same-Game Parlay
Pick: Colorado Rockies Moneyline (+335) + Over 10.5 Runs (1.95)
- Combined Odds: 3.35 * 1.95 = 6.53 (+553).
- Implied Probability: 1 / 6.53 ≈ 15.3%.
- Adjusted Probability: 35.4% (Rockies win) * 55% (Over) = 19.5%.
- EV: +4.2% (19.5% > 15.3%).

Why This Works:
- The Rockies are undervalued underdogs (35.4% win chance vs. 29.85% implied).
- The Over is undervalued given Rockies’ 5.66 ERA and Reds’ 100 HRs.
- Humor Alert: If the Rockies win and the Over hits, you’ll be the only one at the bar not crying.
