Public preview

The Diamondbacks and Cardinals meet in a one-game makeup at Busch Stadium. Our full checklist found a meaningful gap between the teams’ recent offensive form, particularly against right-handed pitching, and the market’s initial assessment.

The starting-pitcher matchup also requires looking beyond surface ERA. One starter’s expected ERA is more than two runs higher than his actual mark, while the opposing starter enters in improved recent form. The market has already moved substantially, making the remaining value highly price-sensitive.

Travel and bullpen uncertainty keep this to a small position.
