- Although the Angles have the second most strikeouts in the entire league, Sears is below average in every statistical category outside of BB%. Overall he has just a 16.9 K% and a 18.2 Whiff%.
Royals P Kris Bubic — 16.5 Pitching Outs
Kansas City Royals vs. New York Yankees — 7:40 p.m. ET
- Royals SP Kris Bubic is about as consistent as it comes to going six or more innings pitched. Of his 12 starts this season, he has pitched at least 17 outs in nine of them.
- Bubic is having a career year, posting a career best in H/9, BB/9, K/9, xERA and WHIP amongst his previous starting seasons.
- Against the 232 right-handed batters he has faced this season, Bubic has displayed reverse splits, as he's allowing just a .187 batting average and a .250 OBP. He is projected to face five right-handers in the Yankee lineup.
- He is also in the top 25% of the league in terms of Chase, Whiff and Strikeout percentages. The only category he is below average is his fastball velocity.
Mets RF Juan Soto — 8 Hitter Fantasy Score
New York Mets vs. Washington Nationals – 7:10 p.m. ET
- In his last 11 games, Juan Soto has hit this projection eight times and remains the sixth best hitter in traditional fantasy points.

- Nationals P Jake Irvin allows a .266 batting average and a below 16% strikeout rate against left-handed batters.
- Irvin gives up a 4.82 xFIP and 37.6% hard hit% to lefties, both significantly worse than his numbers to righties (4.22 & 25.5%, respectively).
- Soto remains one of the most disciplined batters at the plate, producing a 18.5 BB% which puts him in the top 1% of the entire league. He is also in the top 5% in terms of hard-hit% and top 12% in barrel rate, so look for Soto to have some hard contact against Irvin.
