The match-up vs. Asi Siempre is puzzling as they both have similar running styles and Pine Island will be a significantly lower price. That one will change dramatically.

It is dangerous to use specific opinions when looking at matchups.

i'm not a big matchup player, but I do have opinions about both Balletto and Pine Island. Although you say they have shown similar ability, and they probably have, my take is that there is no way that Balletto finishes in front of Pine Island.
