Small, technical edge on the A’s run line: the model recommends ATH -1.5 (+160) while assigning a 48.3% chance to the pick versus the market's 48.0%, a tiny value gap of 0.3% that creates a modest EV opportunity.
The market opened -112/-104 and is now -122/-103; home no-vig implied moved from 50.9% to 52.0% (toward home). Steam detected across 3+ books in last 30 min — the market has been leaning LAA since open.
