Cristopher Sanchez Underdog MLB Pick: Lower than 6.5 Strikeouts

While Cristopher Sanchez has been impressive with an 11.5 K/9 and a 28.1% strikeout rate, asking for seven punchouts against the San Francisco Giants is a tall order. The Giants are a neutral matchup for lefties, ranking 15th in strikeout rate (22.4%), but they are notorious for grinding out at-bats and driving up pitch counts early in the game. With the line set at 6.5, there is very little room for error. We are playing the "Lower" here, banking on the Giants' discipline to keep Sanchez under this high total.

Eduardo Rodriguez Underdog MLB Pick: Lower than 4.5 Strikeouts

Eduardo Rodriguez simply hasn't found his swing-and-miss stuff yet this season. He is currently sporting a meager 15.0% strikeout rate and a 5.8 K/9, suggesting he is pitching much more for weak contact than punchouts. Today he faces a Milwaukee Brewers squad that ranks 13th in the majors in strikeout rate against lefties (22.9%). Given that Rodriguez is averaging well below five strikeouts per start, taking the "Lower" on 4.5 is the statistically sound play for tonight's card.
