What the market says
It gives it 47.8% net of commission. That's a fair line of +109, and it pays +100.
What we see
Two starters with FIP above 4.20 and a home bullpen of 5.14 (closer L. Erceg at 5.83) with 9.5 innings over two days. CWS arriving at 6.7 runs/game and .761 OPS in the week, KC at 5.2 runs/game; park at 104 runs.
What can go wrong
R. Dobnak is at 3.08 ERA and if he goes six innings the game stays under; plus the wind is blowing in and the umpire reduces runs by 1.2%.
Why it's still in
Even counting that risk, we give it 52.0%. The market prices it as if it were 47.8%: 4.2 points below what it's worth. At +100 that's an expected value of +4.0%.
