The de-vigged totals sit at CWS 4.4 and BOS 4.6, a narrow gap that undersells Chicago's superior run rank. Getting the visitors at plus-116 against a home favorite priced at minus-126 looks like value given the pitching mismatch. The number beats my read on the Chicago side.

Martin brings the more trustworthy profile with a 3.62 ERA, 2.69 BB/9, and clean command across 117 innings. Sandoval misses bats at a 9.47 K/9 but his 11.37 H/9 and 1.58 WHIP over a tiny 19-inning sample scream traffic. The edge is Chicago's arm on volume and control.

Chicago swings for power, ranking 5th at 1.32 HR/game, and that plays up against a pitcher surrendering hits at an elevated clip. Boston contact profile ranks 13th in AVG but a dismal 26th in home runs, limiting its ceiling versus Martin. The Sox bats carry the cleaner stack appeal tonight.

DFS Angles

Stack Chicago bats against Sandoval's 1.58 WHIP, leaning on power sources with the wind out to right at Fenway. Murakami and Colson Montgomery anchor the group with home-run upside.

Target Davis Martin as the safer SP given his 3.62 ERA and 1.26 WHIP, and fade Sandoval given his traffic-heavy 11.37 H/9. Chase Meidroth at $3700 is a strong 2.94x value bat if you punt.
