New York -198
Consensus prices New York at 64% to win. I count the votes; the votes say New York.
St. Louis +1.5
Books charge more juice on St. Louis's side of the number — that's where the market is leaning.
Under 8
The under is the expensive side at 8 — juice tells you which way the room is betting.

New York -190
Best board has New York -190 vs a -198 consensus — 8 cents of free value. I take the mispricing.
New York -1.5 (+110)
No number-shopping edge here, so I take the cheaper juice — New York at +110 is the better-priced side of the same line.
Over 8 (-105)
Same number everywhere, so I take the cheaper side of it — the over at -105 costs less to be right.

No read — this lens sees nothing actionable here.
New York -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: New York.
Over 8
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.
