?? BEST DOG: MIN +115 vs BOS — 6 signals, most of any dog today

The case for it is actually stronger than the odds suggest. MIN's power rating is +0.882, BOS is -0.438 — MIN is the better team and is still a dog. BOS has a luck score of -1.28 and their actual win% (.375) is running well below their Pythagorean (.455). The market is pricing this heavily on the SP matchup, which is real — BOS's starter is a FRONTRUNNER (ERA 2.76, WHIP 0.98) vs MIN's ERA 6.08 NEUTRAL. That's the catch.

The counter: S64-Market Mispricing is specifically saying the market has overcorrected for that SP gap. MIN won yesterday 13-6, they're 4-1 in their last 5, and BOS is genuinely one of the unluckiest teams in the league. At +115 you're getting paid on a team that the numbers say should be favored. The SP is the only real red flag.

?? RUNNER-UP: COL +153 vs HOU — 3 signals, series opener, value

This one is weird and interesting. S01-Rest Advantage is firing at +153 — meaning COL has meaningful rest and HOU doesn't. What makes it compelling: HOU's power rating (-0.706) is actually worse than COL's (-0.375). Both teams are bad, but you're getting paid +153 on the team that is legitimately better by the numbers. S64-Market Mispricing and S-CONVERGE also agree. Series opener — no momentum working against COL. Pure value bet, small unit.

? SKIP: NYM +175 vs LAD

Looks tempting at +175 and NYM's starter is legitimately good (ERA 2.70, WHIP 0.84, K9 10.8, FRONTRUNNER). The problem is NYM's offense is completely dead — 0, 0, 6, 0, 1 runs in their last five games. They're down 1-0 in the series and their power rating is -0.412 against LAD's 2.438. A great pitching matchup means nothing if your team can't score. Down series, can't score, massive power rating gap — pass.

? SKIP: LAA +150 vs NYY

LAA's starter is EARLY_TROUBLE (ERA 4.60) against NYY's FRONTRUNNER (ERA 2.81, K9 10.13). LAA's bullpen gave up 7 ER yesterday. NYY won game 1. Nothing here points to LAA — the signals firing are consensus and S-CONVERGE which are noisy. No edge.

The play: MIN +115, 1 unit. COL +153, half unit if you want the value sprinkle.
