Andrew Abbott has only cleared this number in three of his nine starts this season. He has a tough matchup tonight against the Padres, who are one of the toughest teams to rack up strikeouts against.

Abbott's strikeout rate this season is 6% lower than it was in his rookie season, and the underlying data supports the drop. He's getting hitters to chase and to whiff at a much lower rate in general.

Abbott's best strikeout pitch is his changeup, which has a 32% whiff rate. However, the Padres have the third-lowest strikeout rate in the lowest whiff rate against changeups this season.

I have Abbott staying under 4.5 strikeouts 62% of the time and make the fair odds closer to -165.

Pick: Andrew Abbott Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-130)
