Tropicana FieldSt. Petersburg

J.Lowe o0.5 HR+645

0.25u

Z.Eflin u5.5 Ks-128

FD is floating 5.5 and I like the value we are getting at that number. He’s cleared this in 3 of the last 4 games and he has benefited from the combo of teams taking pitches in the zone (for called strikes) and whiffing on pitches outside of the zone. Toronto has the 3rd highest swing rate on pitches in the zone and 4th lowest whiff rate on pitches outside of the zone. This should be a tougher spot for him to rack up Ks and I’m projecting this closer to -160

Over 8-110

TB -1-115

TB -0.5 (F5)-120

0.5u

Missed all the good stupid numbers cuz I was working late last night on other stuff so I’m mad about having to take RL on this

A.Manoah u17.5 Outs-130

Manoah - under in 8/10 starts, including 5/L5. 6.54 xERA, sky high walk rate (14%), 43% hard hit (had been 32% in prior seasons), with diminished velocity and spin. No signs of the pitcher we saw last season. Worst start of season vs TB - 4.2 IP, 9 H, 7 ER.

TB -138 (F5)

Over 8-105

Project 10.2; Rays crush right hand pitching (Manoah). Each bullpen 4.3 FIP or worse
