He’s the ideal buy-low candidate after a brutal start, posting just a 12.5% K rate through three starts. But the underlying data tells a completely different story. He has a 34% whiff rate, which is 10%+ higher than his career average. It’s actually kind of wild his K rate has been this low so far and he’s absolutely due for positive regression. I’m not saying we’re about to confuse him with Pedro Martinez, but a 22% K rate going forward wouldn’t be surprising if the whiffs hold. He’s also faced a tough schedule to open the season, drawing the Cardinals, Brewers, and Astros. I’m buying low here. I project this closer to -145, and there’s some sneaky upside to laddering the over with 5.5 and 6.5 as well.
