Model Analysis

The market is treating this like a coin flip because Pittsburgh is sending a young arm with shiny peripherals, but Ashcraft has faced under 300 hitters in the big leagues and the Phillies have the exact lineup built to expose him. He's walked nearly 12% of the lefties he's seen, which is bad news with Schwarber and Harper waiting in the middle of the order. Nola isn't peak Nola anymore, but he doesn't have to be against a Pirates lineup that's been one of the league's quietest, and the projected scoreline already accounts for him giving back a few. At -107, you're getting the better team at a near pick-em price in a park that rewards exactly the kind of damage Philly is built to do.
