The market severely overvalues Pittsburgh at 66% implied probability despite facing a massive bullpen mismatch - St. Louis scores 86/100 while Pittsburgh's relief corps ranks dead last at 1/100. Hunter Dobbins' 4.83 xFIP against Paul Skenes' 3.80 creates additional value, but the Cardinals' superior late-game depth provides the decisive edge at 14% expected value.

The market severely undervalues Washington despite Miles Mikolas (xFIP 5.17) holding a massive edge over Freddy Peralta (xFIP 4.01). Washington's defense grades at -9 OAA compared to New York's +1, but the Nationals' bullpen advantage is overwhelming at 1 versus 76 out of 100. The 12% expected value reflects this pricing inefficiency.
