    • Columbus has 3.25 GF/game and 3.50 GA/game; Florida has 2.00 GF/game and 2.833 GA/game in current samples.
    • Talbot has only one start and Schmid only two, so the goalie gap is a thin-sample signal.
    high-confidence main markets
    • Independent win probability 62.5% versus Pinnacle's 54.8% devigged market reference; fair price about -167.
    • Florida is on a back-to-back with 1 day since its last game; Columbus has 3 days' rest.

    Why it likes it
    • The sharp reference prices Florida +1.5 near 67.3%, implying roughly 32.7% for Florida -1.5; 25¢ is materially lower.
    • The full ladder remains monotone, isolating the 1.5-goal cross-rung mismatch rather than a broad board failure.
    • Florida is the underdog and needs a two-goal win; early-season scoring variance is wide.
