Why This Parlay Wins
1. Rockies’ Moneyline:
- The Rockies’ 41% underdog win rate (MLB average) outperforms their 36.9% implied probability.

1. Under 9.5 Runs:
   - Reds’ 4.00 ERA vs. Rockies’ 3.5 R/G offense = 8.1 expected runs.
   - Rockies’ 5.66 ERA vs. Reds’ .395 SLG = ~4.6 runs.
   - Total expected: 8.1 → Under 9.5 is a 70%+ probability bet.

Final Recommendation
Bet: Rockies Moneyline (+171) + Under 9.5 (-110) Parlay
Odds: ~5.52 (varies by bookmaker; check for best line).
EV: +2.26% → A sharp, data-driven play exploiting Rockies’ underdog value and the Rockies’ pitching dominance.

Bonus Joke:
"The Rockies aren’t just underdogs—they’re the reason the word ‘dog’ is in ‘underdog.’ But hey, 41% of MLB underdogs win. That’s almost as shocking as a Rockies pitcher throwing a complete game."
