James Paxton has been a strikeout KING these past few starts and is primed for another vs the Minnesota Twins. He’s had 8, 9 and 8 strikeouts in his last 3 games and the 9 spot was vs the Guardians who don’t strikeout much. He’s covered this line in 4 of his 6 starts this season and missed against the Angels because they scored 5 in 3 innings (had 5 strikeouts still).
Now the Twins rank last in strikeouts per game and are the only team that averages over 10 strikeouts a game. They’re coming off an 14 strikeout performance last game and strikeout 1 out of every 3.23 batters this season vs left handed pitchers (less often to RHP). Joey Wentz just struck out 9 vs them (LHP) and Matthew Boyd just struck out 8 (also LHP).
Loving this mini 🪜 for James Paxton.
- James Paxton over 6.5 Strikeouts (-125 DK)
- (.5U) James Paxton 8+ strikeouts (+154 FD)
