Record: 85-72-5
Pirates +175
Yeah, this one's a little bit of a dart throw, but it's the last day of the regular season - why not take a swing with some value? Johan Oviedo hasn't been lights-out, but he's kept Pittsburgh in games, holding opponents to two runs or fewer in seven of his recent outings (and yes, one of those was basically a bullpen day). Morton, on the other hand, looks like he's running on fumes - a 5.89 ERA and a bloated 1.57 WHIP aren't exactly the numbers of a guy you trust laying chalk. The Braves might be the better team on paper, but this sets up like one of those lazy Sunday finales where the underdog sneaks one. I'll take the plus-money shot with Oviedo to end the year on a high note.
Good Luck!
