The best value is Over 1.5 Home Goals at 1.57, with a massive 11.3-point edge. Avoid Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals due to negative edges and Westchester's away scoring struggles.

Markets to Avoid

High-risk markets where price or context leaves too little cushion.

Implied probability of 46.5% is close to our 55% estimate, but the medium confidence and high vig in first-half markets make this a marginal play.
