Prefer the Cardinals for other reasons, but I had to screenshot this ESPN season-long projection for Michael McGreevy.
Asimov's laws of robotics should include a compulsive gambler imperative; then we'd all be safe. Give us some fish.
Be a record or two in there somewhere.

Wasn't in the Cards.
Serves me right for last-minute disturbing the universe.
2-1 +137.50
astros -101 101/100
braves -107 107/100
Astros' Javier wasn't special in his opener vs Angels, but his spring was average plus, about what his standard is. A's Springs is average at best and will have a hard time clearing double-digit wins, I'm guessing. Astros rolling with 5-straight W's, runs coming with 45 already, tied for most with Brewers, and sporting an early team OPS of .830. The Nowhere A's with 17 scored on season (tied for worst with Bosox & Reds) and sit basement-30th with team OPS of .527.
Braves' Holmes is a late-bloomer with decent velocity; good off-speed stuff that he sometimes has trouble controlling. D'Backs Rodriguez has a short, quality outing in his opener vs mighty Dodgers, but he has not enjoyed his time in Arizona, based on the prior 2 seasons. Another match where early indications are sharp disparities in offensive capabilities, with Braves coming in having scored 41 with team OPS of .824 (notable, too, that Braves staff has given up only 14 on season, second best to Yankees). Diamondbacks come in with a for-against of 27-44 (2nd most allowed in majors, to only Chisox) and a team OPS of .701.
Other Nietzschean Passover immoralities:
cubs -112
Pirates +108
brewers -107
and maybe Rangers runline at +126
Our memories remind us
maybe real life's not so bad.
