Model-market gap · analyst-time9.0 pts

Market implies 62.8% for Cleveland vs model's 53.8% — a 9-point gap I side with the market on. Messick (2.50 ERA, 9.06 K/9, 1.01 WHIP) is a clear comparison over Lugo (4.61 ERA, 1.38 WHIP). Model's 9.16 total sits 1.6 over the 7.5 line, hard to justify with Messick starting in a neutral park.
