I feel the line is low because Pittsburgh is at home and they possess a very good lineup. Taillon was prized and projected to be better than Cole. Taillon has a bulldog personality to go along with top 2 MLB starter stuff. He will be a solid fixture in the rotation for the next 6 years. So......does that translate into a win for the Pirates tonight? I say NO. NYM will win this game 7-5. Over is the play in my opinion.
Syndergard and Taillon actually came in the same draft, Taillon second overall, Syndergard 20th (think I have that order correct). Guy over at covers said he saw tape of Taillon's last outing and he was "erratic" at best which I take to mean all over the place. That kind of performance won't bode well tonight. GL
