The read

I’m backing St. Louis because McGreevy’s 1.18 WHIP keeps traffic light, and Bryan Reynolds’ 141 strikeouts in 483 at-bats tell me this Pirates lineup can be had by strike-throwers. On the other side, Oviedo’s 1.33 WHIP puts extra men on, and Alec Burleson’s 61 strikeouts in 414 at-bats means the Cards will keep the ball in play and cash those chances. Sure, McGreevy allows a .268 average, but with Reynolds at .244 the Pirates’ damage profile is limited, so I’m laying the short price at home—got the guts to ride with me?
