Crow-Armstrong leads the Cubs with 45 HR in 2026 (team-best) with a .280/.372/.570 slash and elite .298 ISO. No career matchup data vs King, so we rely on season power metrics. King allows 20 HR in 185.0 IP (0.97 HR/9 — near league average), meaning he's not a HR-suppressing ace. At +320 (23.8% implied), the market marginally underweights PCA's HR rate for a top-of-order 45-HR slugger in a live postseason contest. Petco HR park factor of 0.88 is a real headwind and keeps this LOW confidence — but the price represents value for elite HR production.
