D.Smyly u15.5 Outs-120

Smyly only cleared this in 8 of 22 starts last season. Seems like the chances are much lower in his opening start. It’s one thing to go 15 outs (5 IP) and another to come back out in the 6th to get one more and clear this. The Reds have the 7th highest pitches per PA and the 4th lowest swing rate on the young season. Both factors should make it that much tougher for Smyly to clear this

Limited big league experience, but in his time as a starter he was pretty solid. 3.41 xERA & 3.66 FIP Pitches to contact but .235 xBA/.341 xSLG and a 3.0% barrel rate Smyly on the other hand is a fade target. 4.17 xERA last year with some concerns (.249 xBA, .416 xSLG & 8.6 barrel rate). All bottom 30% of pitchers and also a pitch-to-contact lefty
