Arizona +109 vs Cleveland -132 — Spring Training (2/23/2026, Goodyear Ballpark)

Probable SPs: Taylor Clarke (ARI) vs Tanner Bibee (CLE).
Bullpen baseline: ARI 4.82, CLE 3.44.
Farm/depth: CLE #2, ARI #21.
Weather: warm/dry Goodyear (~80°F range)

Projected score

Full game (2 IP starter + 7 IP pen/depth)

Projected final score: CLE 5.0 – ARI 4.0 (Total 9.0)

Fair odds + value vs book (moneyline)

Book: ARI +109, CLE -132

• CLE win% 60.1% → fair -151

• ARI win% 39.9% → fair +151

Result: by this projection, Cleveland -132 is the value side (price is cheaper than my fair -151). The “why” is mostly bullpen gap + farm depth gap showing up hard once the starter leash ends.

Why I am betting Cleveland ML (-132):

• Big depth edge for late innings (the actual spring “fourth quarter”). Cleveland’s farm is ranked #2 while Arizona is #21, which usually means higher-quality arms/bats in innings 6–9 when the game turns into “prospects vs prospects.”

• Bullpen baseline is meaningfully better. 2025 bullpen ERA: CLE 3.44 vs ARI 4.82. Even after adding spring volatility, that’s still a real gap—and it matters because bullpens (and minor-league relievers) cover most innings.

• My run-based projection makes CLE a bigger favorite than the book. I projected CLE ~60% (fair around -151) vs a book price of -132, so there’s edge on the price if you trust the model assumptions.

• Warm Goodyear conditions tend to increase scoring/variance, and the better pen/depth usually benefits more. If runs tick up, the team less likely to “hand out walks + bombs” late tends to gain. (This leans Cleveland given the bullpen/farm profile.).

• Spring starter leash reduces “ace advantage” and magnifies organizational quality. With starters likely around ~2 innings, the game is mostly decided by depth, not the first name on the lineup card.

Net: Cleveland ML is basically a bet on organizational pitching depth (pen + farm) being the most predictive thing in February baseball, and the price not fully charging you for it..

Philadelphia +104 vs Washington -126 — Spring Training (2/23/2026, CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches)

Venue / location: CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches (West Palm Beach).
Probable SPs: Alan Rangel (PHI) vs Jake Irvin (WSH).
Weather nudge: breezy/drier conditions around Palm Beach; I treat as slightly pitcher-friendly overall (small run suppression).

Bullpen baseline (2025):

• Phillies pen ERA: 4.25

• Nationals pen ERA: 5.59

Farm depth:

• Nationals system #14

• Phillies system #17

Starter baselines:

• Jake Irvin: 5.70 ERA

• Alan Rangel: 2.45 ERA (small MLB sample), WHIP 1.45; indicators suggest some regression risk

Model + assumptions (spring-weighted, with math)

Early spring, I assume starters ~2.0 IP (short leash), then bullpens/prospect arms cover the rest.

Expected runs = ParkMult × LineupMult × RA9 × (IP/9)

• ParkMult = 0.99 (minor run suppression from conditions).

• LineupMult: PHI 1.00, WSH 0.97 (Washington offense slightly weaker in typical spring mixes; small adjustment).

• Spring-adjusted RA9:

  • Irvin (first 2 IP): 5.3 RA9 (near his 2025 level).

  • Rangel (first 2 IP): 4.6 RA9 (good ERA, but WHIP/quality-of-contact risk; plus “starter-ish” usage penalty).

  • WSH pen/depth (rest): 6.0 RA9 (5.59 pen baseline + spring volatility; farm helps but pen was still rough).

  • PHI pen/depth (rest): 4.6 RA9 (4.25 baseline + spring volatility).

Projected score

Phillies 5.8 – Nationals 4.4 (total 10.2).

Fair odds + value vs book (moneyline)

Book: PHI +104, WSH -126

From the projected runs (runs→win% model):

• PHI win% = 62.4% → fair -166

• WSH win% = 37.6% → fair +166

Result: By this projection, Philadelphia +104 is massive value, mainly because spring innings 3–9 heavily punish a bullpen that was last-ish by ERA in 2025.

Why I am betting PHI ml:

• Price mismatch: Book has PHI as a slight dog (+104), but my run-based projection makes Philly a clear favorite (fair line closer to PHI -160ish). That’s the whole ballgame: you’re buying the same win probability for a cheaper price.

• Bullpen innings matter more than starters today: Early spring starters often go ~2 innings. That means 6–8 innings are decided by bullpen + “depth arms.” Philly’s 2025 bullpen baseline was materially better than Washington’s, and that gap gets amplified in spring when command is shaky and defensive subs pile up.

• Washington’s late-inning profile is the land of free baserunners: In spring, the easiest way to lose is: walk, walk, single, error, sac fly, repeat. Washington’s 2025 relief profile was much more prone to that kind of inning than Philly’s, so Philly benefits from “spring chaos” rather than being hurt by it.

• Farm depth is not a Washington trump card here: Washington’s system is solid, but it’s not a big enough edge over Philly’s to justify making Philly the dog—especially when the bullpen quality gap points the other way.

• Run environment helps the better pitching staff: If conditions are even slightly pitcher-friendly, that tends to reduce randomness and reward the team less likely to hand out walks/extra baserunners—again leaning Philly.

• Best way to lose this bet: Washington gets an unusually long/clean outing from its starter and its depth arms throw strikes (rare but possible), or Philly runs out a super-prospect-heavy lineup and just doesn’t hit enough. Spring variance is real—so the edge is about price, not certainty.

Net: Philly ML works because you’re getting plus-money on a side that (in a spring-weighted model) should be favored, mainly due to the innings 3–9 pitching gap.

Chi. White Sox -126 vs Colorado +104 — Spring Training (2/23/2026, Salt River Fields)

Venue/time: Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, Feb 23, 2026.
Probable SPs: CHW: Shane Smith (RHP); COL: TBD.
Weather (Scottsdale): ~80°F, mostly sunny → mild hitter lean.

Bullpen baseline (2025 bullpen ERA):

• CHW 4.16, COL 5.18

Farm/depth:

• White Sox #20, Rockies #28

Core spring assumptions (the stuff driving the math)

• Starters ~2.0 IP this early (build-up mode), bulk of innings from bullpen/prospect arms.

• Rockies starter is TBD, so I model COL’s first 2 innings as a “generic spring starter” (higher variance than named starters).

• Park/weather multiplier: ParkMult = 1.02 (warm/dry-ish bump).

RA9 knobs used (spring-adjusted)

• Shane Smith (CHW) first 2 IP: 4.0 RA/9 (3.81 ERA in 2025, padded for spring looseness).

• Rockies “TBD” first 2 IP: 5.8 RA/9 (uncertain starter penalty)

• CHW pen/depth: 4.6 RA/9 (4.16 bullpen ERA → spring volatility)

• COL pen/depth: 5.6 RA/9 (5.18 bullpen ERA → spring volatility; weaker system depth)

• Lineup multipliers: 1.00 / 1.00 (neutral—spring lineups vary too much pre-lineups)

Projected score

CHW = 5.8
COL = 4.6

Value vs book odds (moneyline)

Book ML: CHW -126, COL +104

Result: White Sox -126 shows value on this projection; Rockies +104 does not.

Why I am betting White Sox ML (-126) in this spring game:

• Big bullpen gap (most important spring factor): Colorado’s 2025 bullpen run prevention was awful (team bullpen ERA ~5.18) versus Chicago being much more playable (~4.16). Late innings in spring are basically “bullpen + depth roulette,” and the Rockies’ version is the cursed wheel.

• Depth edge: White Sox farm/development pipeline grades better than Colorado’s (so their innings 6–9 are more likely to be “real prospects” than “organizational innings-eaters”). In spring, that matters more than who’s batting 3rd.

• Rockies starter is TBD (uncertainty tax): An unnamed starter increases variance, and variance usually benefits the side with the better pen/depth because you’re less likely to have a catastrophic innings spiral.

• Projected game script favors CHW: My projection had CHW leading both 1st 5 and full game (roughly CHW 5.8 – COL 4.6), which implies the ML price is a touch cheap relative to the win probability.

• Colorado’s late-game profile is especially fragile in warm Arizona air: Warm/dry conditions tend to punish mistakes (extra-base hits/Homers). That’s not where you want to live if your bullpen is already leaky.

Quick reality-check (spring caveat): the only real “gotcha” is if Colorado announces a legitimately strong starter who goes 2–3 innings and their better reliever prospects appear in bulk. Spring lineups/usage can flip everything fast, but as a baseline, CHW ML is supported by the two spring kings: bullpen + depth.
