Available at FanDuel. This is primarily related to pitch count as Taillon hasn't gone longer than 80 pitches in 6 starts since coming off the IL. Part of that could be length, but he also hasn't been super effective with an 8.61 ERA. The Angels are roughly average in the strikeout department, so I've got Taillon projected for 3.7 strikeouts. With strikeout totals of just 3, 1, and 1 in his past 3 road starts, I'm good laying the -128 on the under.
