Odds & EV Calculations
1. Moneyline: Tampa Bay Rays (+260)
- Implied probability: 27.78% (100 / (260 + 100)).
- Underdog win rate (MLB): 41%.
- Adjusted probability: (27.78% + 41%) / 2 = 34.39%.
- EV: 34.39% > 27.78% → +6.61% edge.
2. Over 8 Runs (-110)
- Implied probability: 51.02% (1 / 1.96).
- Team trends: Red Sox (50% over), Rays (41.5% over).
- Adjusted probability: Split between 50% and 41.5% → ~45.75%.
- EV: 45.75% vs. 51.02% → -5.27% edge.

Same-Game Parlay Recommendation
Tampa Bay Rays to Win (+260) + Over 8 Runs (-110)
- Combined implied probability: 27.78% * 51.02% = 14.18%.
- Adjusted probability: 34.39% * 45.75% = 15.73%.
- EV: 15.73% > 14.18% → +1.55% edge.
Why This Works:
- Tampa Bay’s underdog win rate (41%) vastly outperforms their implied 27.78%.
- The Over 8 runs is slightly undervalued by the market (45.75% actual vs. 51.02% implied).
- Crochet and Baz are solid starters, but neither is an ace, making 8 runs plausible.
Humor Alert:
> "The Rays are the ‘over’ in more ways than one tonight. Boston’s seven-game streak? A mirage. Tampa’s bats? About to erupt. Bet accordingly—or go to bed early."
Final Verdict
Best Same-Game Parlay:
- Tampa Bay Rays to Win (+260)
- Over 8 Runs (-110)
