T.Mahle o4.5 Ks-146

He’s inconsistent, but he hit this line in 16/21 full starts last season, and looked sharp in his first start. Astros profile as a higher-K team this season (25% so far) and are trotting out a weaker lineup. Ok with this at -150 as well. Partial unit at o5.5 Ks at +115 or better.
