J.Taillon u4.5 Ks-110

Taillon has cleared this in 3 of 5 games, but he won’t be able to sustain his current K/9 (11.4) with a 11% swinging strike rate. The Astros 7-9 hitters are his best chance to rack up Ks but considering he’s yet to throw more than 85 pitches in a game, it’s unlikely he will get to face them a 3rd time. Home plate ump Chris Guccione tends to squeeze pitchers as well. Projecting this closer to -150
