B.Elder u4.5 Ks-150

Available at FanDuel. Elder's strikeouts have been on the decline recently, and now he heads to Coors Field. Strikeouts tend to be lower across the board there. Over Elder's past 11 starts with his sinker velo decreased, his strikeout rate is just 13.3%, and he has gone over 4.5 strikeouts just twice in that span. I think my model undersells the impact of Coors, and I still have him projected for just 3.3 strikeouts here.
