No Opposing Views that night

Lines Normalization Notes

Single source: ESPN Odds (powered by DraftKings). All full-game lines standardized to this source. F5, team total, and alternate total markets (Under 8.5 on MIN/KC) are not available from DK standard board and are estimated or flagged.

Key repricing: Grok Dodgers ML pasted -200, repriced to -280 (significant move). Grok Padres ML pasted -156, repriced to -153. Gemini NYY/SEA U7 pasted -120 (matches). Claude NYY ML pasted -102, repriced to +100 (flipped from slight fav to slight dog). Gemini SF/SD U8 pasted -115, repriced to -118.

Line discrepancy: MIN/KC total is 8.0 at DraftKings. Both Gemini and ChatGPT targeted Under 8.5. This is either an alternate total or the line moved from 8.5 to 8.0. Gemini units on this play were not stated in source material.

In-progress exclusion: Grok Red Sox F5 ML (-135, 1u) excluded from this late-slate board as BOS/HOU started at 2:10 PM ET.
