AI rank#9

Model-market gap · analyst-time10.1 pts

Model likes LAA at 53.3% while market implies 56.8% TEX — a ~10pt gap. Detmers (3.78 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 10.5 K/9) does grade out ahead of Gore (4.45 ERA, 1.26 WHIP), but LAA's 51-77 record and the internally inconsistent team lines (TEX 2.5 RPG against a .698 OPS) argue for deferring to the market. Slight under lean on 7.5 given Detmers' WHIP and TEX's low scoring rate.
