Read original reasoning

Alexander's last 3 starts produced 4 K, 5 K, and 1 K — averaging only 3.3 Ks per outing. His 7.30 ERA in 2026 (12.1 IP) reflects a hittable pitcher prone to early exits: lasted just 2 IP vs BAL and 4.1 IP vs LAD. A TEX lineup that can put balls in play quickly limits his K opportunities. Under at -115 (53.5% implied) aligns with his recent output trend.
