Read original reasoning

Espinal is 0-for-7 lifetime vs Sale including 3 PA in 2025 at 0.000 OPS — the most recent and relevant sample. 2026 season line of .185/.185/.259 with a .222 OPS vs LHP confirms he cannot handle elite lefties. Sale's 2.14 ERA and 10.5 K/9 in 2026 further suppresses contact. Market at -110 under undervalues this edge.
