The read
I’m backing Baltimore because Lance McCullers Jr. has a 6.90 ERA with a 1.74 WHIP, and a .267 average against means even a light-hitting lineup can turn all that traffic into runs.
Cade Povich brings 90 strikeouts in 81.1 innings, and that swing-and-miss profile lines up against Houston’s free swingers like Cam Smith at 120 strikeouts and Christian Walker at 134, which snuffs out crooked innings. Sure, the O’s bats look thin with Colton Cowser at .211 and Coby Mayo at .205, but McCullers has been putting runners on in bunches, which tilts a tight game toward the home side.
I’ve been around too long to overthink it—ride the cleaner mound form and make the market prove you wrong.
