PHI4.7

WAS3.8

The de-vigged implied totals of PHI 4.7 and WAS 3.8 add up exactly to the posted 8.5, so the total is priced efficiently with no obvious edge. PHI at -220 is a steep price for a favorite whose starter is unconfirmed, which caps side value. The market read leans toward the weather-driven UNDER rather than laying heavy juice.
