FC Schalke 04 vs FSV Mainz 05 Prediction & Pick (Oct 17)

Why this corners pick

The pick is Under 10.5 corners. The market inflates the line, but combining both teams' corner averages the model projects only ~8.40 corners, 2.10 below the line of 10.5. That gap is the value.

The projection comes from crossing both sides' corner averages in Bundesliga (ESPN data) — not a hunch, the real records of both teams.
