Play #2 - Mookie Betts LESS 1.5 Bases: taken from the
@UpsideTools EV Optimizer:

Betts is the market confirmation leg here.
Pick6 is giving us the under at the standard 3 leg price of -122, but the broader board is leaning to the same side.
Pinnacle -136.
Novig -127.
ProphetX -138.
Hard Rock -144.
Fliff -155.
etc.
The optimizer has Betts under at 54.1% to hit on its own, which is slightly below the normal 54.95% Pick6 3 leg threshold.
But that is not the full story on this slip.
Kurtz getting discounted from 3.5 H R RBI down to 1.5 pushes his single leg hit rate into that 65% to 75% range, which drags the overall average hit rate per leg well above breakeven.
So Betts does not need to be some massive standalone edge. He just needs to be a fair market supported leg next to the discounted Kurtz number.
That is how you build these correctly.
