L.Garcia o6.5 Ks-110

1.65u

Garcia is over this line in each of his L3, against impressive offenses (TB TOR TEX) - SF is 2nd in K% vs RHP this season. Garcia seeing a spike in whiffs, Ks and chase rate due to upping the use of his cutter (best K pitch) vs lefties. And the massive wildcard here (that could only work in our favor) is the potential post-Mexico effect, similar to what we see with the Rockies and Coors.
