Kansas City -102
Best board has Kansas City -102 vs a -107 consensus — 5 cents of free value. I take the mispricing.
San Francisco -1.5 (+146)
No number-shopping edge here, so I take the cheaper juice — San Francisco at +146 is the better-priced side of the same line.
Under 9 (-105)
Same number everywhere, so I take the cheaper side of it — the under at -105 costs less to be right.

San Francisco -112
No steam anywhere on this game — an unchallenged opener is usually a sharp opener. I ride the number as posted: San Francisco.
San Francisco -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: San Francisco.
Under 9
The over 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 under.
