3. Odds & EV Calculations
#### Moneyline
- Reds (-171): Implied probability = 1 / 1.6 ≈ 62.5%.
- Adjusted probability (favorite): (62.5% + 59%) / 2 = 60.75%.
- EV = 60.75% - 62.5% = -1.75% (Negative).
- Marlins (+143): Implied probability = 1 / 2.42 ≈ 41.3%.
- Adjusted probability (underdog): (41.3% + 41%) / 2 = 41.15%.
- EV = 41.15% - 41.3% = -0.15% (Neutral).

Run Line
- Reds -1.5 (-200): Implied probability = 1 / 2.18 ≈ 45.9%.
- Adjusted probability (favorite): (45.9% + 59%) / 2 = 52.45%.
- EV = 52.45% - 45.9% = +6.55% (Strong Positive).
- Marlins +1.5 (-150): Implied probability = 1 / 1.7 ≈ 58.8%.
- Adjusted probability (underdog): (58.8% + 41%) / 2 = 49.9%.
- EV = 49.9% - 58.8% = -8.9% (Negative).

Totals
- Over 9 Runs (1.82): Implied probability = 1 / 1.82 ≈ 54.9%.
- Historical context: 43% of Reds games and 48% of Marlins games hit the over.
- Adjusted probability = 54.9% (No EV adjustment needed; over is undervalued).
- Under 9 Runs (2.0): Implied probability = 50%.
- EV = 50% - 54.9% = -4.9% (Negative).

4. Best Same-Game Parlay
Reds -1.5 (-200) + Over 9 Runs (1.82) = 3.96 Total Odds (1/3.96 ≈ 25.25% Implied)
- Adjusted EV:
- Reds -1.5: 52.45%
- Over 9: 54.9%
- Combined probability ≈ 52.45% * 54.9% ≈ 28.8%
- EV = 28.8% - 25.25% = +3.55%

Why This Works:
- Reds’ offense (4.8 RPG) and Lodolo’s 3.85 ERA make them a -1.5 favorite with value.
- Both teams’ high-scoring tendencies (Reds: 5.0 RPG, Marlins: 4.9 RPG) justify the over.
- The parlay exploits the market’s undervaluation of the over and slight overconfidence in the run line.

5. Final Verdict
Bet: Reds -1.5 & Over 9 Runs
- Odds: +296 (3.96 decimal)
- EV: +3.55%
- Rationale: The Reds’ recent four-game skid is a red herring; they’re a solid favorite with a motivated lineup. The over is a no-brainer against two teams that love to swing for the fences.

Bonus Pick: If you’re feeling spicy, add Elly De La Cruz Over 1.5 Hits (+120). His .320 BA and 10 HRs make him a lock for multi-hit games.

“The Reds are due, the Marlins are due to get run-ruled, and the over is a given. This parlay is a statistical masterpiece—unless Lodolo suddenly turns into a Cy Young winner. Spoiler: He won’t.” 🎯
