Model-market gap · analyst-time5.8 pts

Model lands on HOU despite the worse record (70-68 vs 72-65), worse offense (.695 vs .729 OPS) and the far weaker starter. Burke's 149 IP at 3.32 ERA and 9.72 K/9 is a real body of work; Blanco's 7.71 ERA over 23.3 IP is small-sample but not encouraging. Daikin Park at 0.81 supports under 8.5 even with Blanco's shaky form.
