-2.3

1 of 9 St. Louis Cardinals hitters facing Braxton Ashcraft have more signals for them than against, 7 more against, averaging -0.3 a hitter — +0.1 on the power signals and -0.3 on the contact signals, so this leans more toward base hits than damage. Braxton Ashcraft and Busch Stadium add -2 on top, counted once for the whole lineup rather than once per hitter. Batting order is tonight's posted lineup. This counts how many independent signals agree — it is not a probability and has not been graded against results.
