Atlanta Braves at Houston Astros
MLB · Fri Sep 18, 8:10 pm ET · 12 legs priced, 1 recommended.
The drop opens 60 minutes before kickoff and closes when the game starts.
Paid drops are switched off until the closing-line-value gate passes. Until then the free leg and the full graded record are the whole product.

First 5 innings

How to read this page
Tier A is an edge of six points or more and tier B three to six; both are recommended. Tier C is below three points — it is shown for completeness and is never recommended. A prop market whose calibration gate is failing is marked watch: the model prices it, the record grades it, and nothing here recommends it.
