Which MLB bullpens have been used the most heavily in the last 7 days? Show me the top 5 most overworked bullpens by total innings pitched in the last week. I want to target teams with tired bullpens for late-game over bets tonight.

Betting read: use the overworked/watch teams as late-game total and live-over risk flags. Treat no_data rows as coverage gaps, not fresh bullpens. NRFI still depends more on starters, top-of-order bats, lineups, park, and weather than bullpen workload.
