This is a difficult problem with lots of choices. B-21 13-1x is great when it works but leaving 4 blots and 20 shots including 5 dbl hitters and 4 hit-and-covers might be too much risk at this GS score. You could also try B-21 13-9 13-5 or the safer B-21 13-9 (2) 8-4. These plays are OK but you lose a lot of racing equity if White rolls an ace. I think the safe play of B-21 6-2(2) 8-4 is best. The race is close, you don't rate to get g'd very often, and you still have reasonable chances at containing White's back man.
