Royals only running a 23.3% K% over the L30 vs righties - slightly above avg. Cole is coming off a dominant performance at Coors (11Ks), but he’s still under this line in 16/20 games this season. I have Cole at a 29% K % today (+2% on his season average) - and at 27 batters faced, I only have Cole at about 7.8 Ks today.
