Ok, so it turns out that Illustrator’s text baseline is automatically defined by the height of the lowercase character “d” - by default… (see https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/creating-text.html#manage_the_text_area )
​
To change this just select your text block and got to the menu Type > Area Type Options and pick Cap Height or a Fixed value in the First Baseline dropdown:
