My though process on this selection is the following :
1- It's a tough and pretty even matchup to bet...
2- In those "coinflip" matchup, I usually go Moneyline with the team offering the best payoff but...
3- I think that NYR are a good team BUT not as good as the last 20 games they played...
4- On the other side, I think PIT underperformed in the last 20 games the played...
5- They are playing in Pittsburgh
6- NYR and PIT have a great rivalry and you can expect both team to come out and give all they have
7- After all this, I wanted to go with PIT Moneyline but the price wasn't good enough to me so I took PIT -1 for what I think is a good price at 2.25
