K.Muller u15.5 Outs-125

MGM. Under in 7/9, with a baseball savant page that’s littered in blue. Opponents are 21/35 the third way through (not a typo) - he’s been pulled for ineffectiveness (72 pitches in his last start) - I expect a short leash tonight. Plus, he’s an inefficient pitcher vs a team that will take walks.

L.Castillo u7.5 Ks+110

Available at FanDuel. My numbers are high on Castillo, projecting him for 6.9 strikeouts tonight. But this number is massive, and we get plus money on the under. In eight starts since cutting back on his sinker usage, Castillo has hit the over here in three of eight starts, and all of them have come in five starts at home. That's why this number is so high -- it's deserved. But there are always paths to an under on such a lofty number. It won't be a fun sweat, but I do think this is the right way to play this one.

K.Muller u4.5 Ks-118

0.85u

Available at FanDuel. The Mariners strike out a bunch against lefties, which is why this number is high. But even accounting for that, I've got Muller projected for 3.44 strikeouts, well below the 5 he'd need to hit the over here. In nine starts, Muller has hit the over on this number just twice (and he had three or fewer in all of the unders). He could spike here in a high-strikeout spot, but I think the matchup is fully baked into the number.

Over 7.5-110
