- Red Sox P Walker Buehler – 15.5 Pitching Outs
- Braves P Spencer Strider – 8 Pitcher Strikeouts
- Yankees CF Aaron Judge – 8 Hitter Fantasy Score
Red Sox P Walker Buehler – 15.5 Pitching Outs
Rays vs. Red Sox Prediction – 7:10 p.m. ET
- It has been a horrendous season for Buheler, whose 5.11 xERA is in the 11th percentile.
- Buehler gets roughed up early and has only pitched six innings in four of 15 starts this season.
- Buehler’s 18.5% strikeout rate means we should see the Rays put the ball in play. They’ve recently done well with their .314 BABIP ranking sixth since July 2.
- Buehler only has a lifetime 17.5% whiff rate against the Rays lineup, and Tampa Bay has the tenth-best whiff rate in the league (24.6%) this season.
Braves P Spencer Strider – 8 Pitcher Strikeouts
Braves vs. Athletics Prediction – 9:05 p.m. ET
- We’re beginning to see the Spencer Strider we all expected, and he’s allowed three or fewer runs in six consecutive starts.
- One aspect of the Striders’ game that has always been consistent is his strikeouts, as his 27.6% strikeout rate is in the 82nd percentile.
- His strikeouts are coming thanks to his ability to get swing and misses, as his 33.5% whiff rate is in the 93rd percentile.
- The Athletics could struggle against Strider as their 25.8% whiff rate is 21st.
- The Athletics 0.43 walk/strikeout ratio at home is 20th.
Yankees CF Aaron Judge – 8 Hitter Fantasy Score
Mariners vs. Yankees Prediction – 7:05 p.m. ET
- Yankees OF Aaron Judge continues to have another MVP campaign, and metrics prove it as he’s top five in several categories, including xwOBA, xSLG, and barrel rate.
- Judge has cleared this fantasy score projection in four of his last five games.
- Judge is one of the most important players for his team, as his 7.2 WAR leads the league.
- Judge remains consistent, and his .509 wOBA is second since June 25.
- Judge will see Mariners P Bryan Woo, who he is 3-for-8 lifetime against.
- Woo hasn’t been as efficient on the road with a 3.47 ERA compared to a 1.80 ERA at home.
