Dallas squeezed past the –9.5 line by winning by 12, while the Dodgers responded to Tuesday’s seven-run victory by losing Wednesday’s game by four. Baseball remains a deeply unserious profession.

The thinking
Green Bay Packers –5
Green Bay are 1–1 and return to Lambeau against an Atlanta side that has opened 0–2. The market has moved beyond the earlier –4.5, but five points still keeps the bet on the right side of a touchdown.
Washington Mystics –13.5
Washington enter at 26–16 against a 15–27 Chicago team. It is a large handicap, but the Mystics have the stronger season, home court and playoff momentum against an opponent playing out the schedule.
Connecticut Sun –3.5
This is the final Connecticut Sun home game before the franchise’s expected move to Houston. Both teams have struggled, but the home finale, emotional crowd and short spread make Connecticut the choice over Toronto.
Pittsburgh Pirates to win
Pittsburgh are the home favourite and sit above St Louis in the NL Central. The Cardinals won Wednesday’s meeting 5–1, so this is the bounce-back selection rather than blind loyalty to yesterday’s score.
New York Yankees to win
The Yankees beat Tampa Bay 9–2 on Wednesday and are favoured again at Yankee Stadium. Tampa’s stronger overall record makes this far from free money, but New York’s home edge and current matchup price are enough.
LA Dodgers to win
Wednesday’s run-line selection was punished by a 5–1 Padres win. Thursday’s version drops the handicap: Los Angeles only need to win, with Tyler Glasnow and Nick Pivetta listed as the probable starters.
