Best Bets (by the numbers)

1. Red Sox -149 vs Guardians — Bello edge, projection + form; C.O.G.O supports runs if you want Over exposure.
2. Astros -150 vs Angels — Garcia/C.O.W. + VI; consider Over 8.5/9 with elevated C.O.G.O.
3. Padres -157 vs Orioles — Cease advantage vs struggling O’s; pair with Under 7.5/8 for correlated angle.
4. Giants -137 at Rockies — Better current form and lineup projection even at Coors.
5. Diamondbacks -157 vs Rangers — Five-game win streak, projection 5.58; Over 9 secondary lean.

Live Dogs / Small Plus-Money Sprinkles

• Braves at Cubs — Model says ATL; Strider path to dominance.
• Brewers/Phillies Over 9 (shop 8.5) — High C.O.G.O and recent MIL totals trend.
• Mets/Tigers Over 9 — Model + C.O.G.O 57% if weather/ump not suppressing.
