MLB:
How does Valdez perform in quick-start vs delayed-start scenarios, and how should that affect a Friday bet?
Qwiket AI:
Valdez generally starts strong, especially when the bullpen is set to cover late innings. A quick start reduces late-inning risk and allows for a stable ladder of bets that include a solid chance of a quality start. In delayed-start scenarios, bettors should monitor bullpen readiness and potential fatigue late in the game.
