Market Divergence
🧪 SAL's Synthesis
The under bet on David Mirkovic's points total aligns with the expectation of a low-scoring matchup against a strong Michigan defense that limits opponent scoring opportunities. Despite recent trends showing Mirkovic's scoring ability, the narrative indicates a competitive game with fewer chances for him to exceed 11.5 points. The Net EV of -0.08 suggests that the market may have accurately priced this wager, making it less favorable to bet on.
