Model-market gap · analyst-time2.1 pts

Near coin flip: market implies 49.3% home, model 52.8% DET, and both starters are mid-rotation (Mlodzinski 3.79 ERA/1.40 WHIP, Valdez 4.26 ERA/1.39 WHIP). Slight nod to Detroit on the better run scoring (5.0 vs 4.7 RPG), though their .582 team OPS is inconsistent with that. Model's 9.44 total sits 1.4 above the 8.0 line; no reason to chase it at PNC, so no total view.
