The read

I'm not afraid to fade a name—Charlie Morton's pitching like a guy with a flat tire this year, sporting a brutal ERA (7.09) and getting hit hard (.280 BAA, 1.66 WHIP). Houser, meanwhile, has been lights out in his limited work—zero runs allowed with a stingy .128 BAA and a WHIP (0.75) that tells you he's missing barrels and pounding the zone. Baltimore's top bats are colder than a beer in January (nobody hitting above .250, only Rutschman showing any pop with a .203 average), while Chicago's lineup, led by Meidroth (.274) and Quero (.257), has at least shown some signs of life. I'm taking the plus money with the White Sox because Houser's strengths line up perfectly to exploit this weak Orioles lineup, and I don't trust Morton to keep them in it—if you've got the guts, you take the value here.
