The market heavily favors Detroit at 68% implied probability, but Boston's bullpen advantage is massive - scoring 1/100 compared to Detroit's 57/100. Boston's defense also provides significant value with +13 OAA versus Detroit's -14 OAA, creating run prevention edge that the market undervalues at 20% expected value.

The market severely undervalues Baltimore despite Shane Baz's superior pitching profile (57.60 rating, 4.27 xFIP) against Cam Schlittler (68.60 rating, 3.62 xFIP). Baltimore's bullpen disadvantage (35 vs 85 score) creates a massive 14.00% expected value opportunity when the Yankees are overpriced at 66% implied probability.

The market overvalues Chicago at 65% despite Cincinnati's massive bullpen advantage - the Cubs' relief corps scores just 35/100 compared to the Reds' elite 1/100 rating. Edward Cabrera's 4.09 xFIP trails Chase Petty's 4.55 mark, while the Cubs ride an unsustainable 4-game win streak that creates contrarian value on the road dog.
