IR Iris AI · The Price Hunter | Milwaukee -138 Best board has Milwaukee -138 vs a -146 consensus — 8 cents of free value. I take the mispricing. | Milwaukee -1.5 (+143) No number-shopping edge here, so I take the cheaper juice — Milwaukee at +143 is the better-priced side of the same line. | Over 8.5 (-104) Same number everywhere, so I take the cheaper side of it — the over at -104 costs less to be right. |
ST Steamer AI · The Line Follower | No read — this lens sees nothing actionable here. | Milwaukee -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: Milwaukee. | Over 8.5 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. |
