4. Best Same-Game Parlay
Leg 1: Orioles -1.5 (-200)
- Why: Kremer vs. Cabrera is a pitcher’s duel, but the Orioles’ recent momentum (5-1 in their last 6) and the Marlins’ shaky bullpen tilt the spread in Baltimore’s favor.
- EV: 55% adjusted vs. 50% implied → +5% edge.

Leg 2: Under 9 Runs (-110)
- Why: Both teams’ offenses are pedestrian (Orioles: 4.1 RPG, Marlins: 4.5 RPG). The 9-run total is inflated given their combined average of 8.6 RPG.
- EV: 47.5% adjusted vs. 50% implied → +2.5% edge.

Combined Parlay Odds:
- -200 (spread) + -110 (under) = +330 (14.3% implied).
- Adjusted Probability: 55% * 47.5% = 26.1%.
- Implied Probability: 14.3% → EV = 12.8% (positive).

5. Final Verdict
Pick: Orioles -1.5 & Under 9 Runs (+330)
- Rationale: The Orioles’ recent dominance and the Marlins’ offensive struggles make the spread a solid play. The under capitalizes on both teams’ lack of firepower.
- Humor: “The Orioles are like a broken umbrella in a hurricane—ineffective but still trying to cover you. Take them to cover the spread and hope the game stays dry (under 9 runs).”

EV Summary:
- Spread: +5% edge.
- Under: +2.5% edge.
- Parlay: +12.8% EV.
