Under 9.5-110

Join Discord for earlier access: https://discord.gg/HjKxYKdSUy The last two in this series finished 16-7 and 9-6, which is exactly the kind of box-score tax that can push a total too high. New York's confirmed order is missing Lindor, Alvarez, Luis Robert and Polanco, while 9.5 still gives room for a normal 5-4 game. Under 9.5 is a fade of the fireworks script, not a bet that both lineups are dead.
