Outman's .152 season average looks terrible in isolation, but the market is pricing on the wrong split. His vLHP OPS is 1.059 — an extreme platoon advantage against today's starter Reid Detmers (LHP). Career vs Detmers: 5 PA, .400 AVG, 1.000 OPS across 2023 and 2025. The +112 odds imply only a 47.2% hit probability, which dramatically underweights his lefty-on-lefty platoon edge. With at least 3 plate appearances guaranteed, this is genuine positive-odds value on a player whose platoon profile fits this matchup perfectly.
