Available at FanDuel. Toussaint is coming off consecutive nine-strikeout games, so I get why this number is so high. But Toussaint didn't get a ton of whiffs in either game (9.2% and 10.4% swinging-strike rate), and he still issued a bunch of walks. The one thing he did do to boost expectations is rack up a big pitch count in both, so I've pushed his pitch count up accordingly. Even with that, I still have Toussaint projected for 5.29 strikeouts here, and given the way those are distributed (with big outings possible but with a lower median expectation), -116 on the under is more than fair. This is simply betting on regression after a pair of huge outings.
