Detroit -140
Consensus prices Detroit at 56% to win. I count the votes; the votes say Detroit.
Athletics +1.5
Books charge more juice on Athletics's side of the number — that's where the market is leaning.
Under 11
The under is the expensive side at 11 — juice tells you which way the room is betting.

Detroit -132
Best board has Detroit -132 vs a -140 consensus — 8 cents of free value. I take the mispricing.
Detroit -1.5 (+112)
No number-shopping edge here, so I take the cheaper juice — Detroit at +112 is the better-priced side of the same line.
Over 11 (+100)
Same number everywhere, so I take the cheaper side of it — the over at +100 costs less to be right.

Detroit -1.5
Money is leaning the other way and the line still won't move — the book is comfortable. When a number holds under pressure, I side with the book: Detroit.
Over 11
The under is taking the money and the total hasn't budged — a number that won't move is a number the book likes. I take the over.
