The Hot Corner: Plays for Friday, April 21st

The ladder for Senga took us into the negative column. 0-2 on ladders so far this season. Back to the lab we go!

Mitch Keller O5.5 Ks -110

*CIN allows 4th most Ks (9.58) & most Ks in L3 (11.67)

*Keller has gone over 7+ in 3 of 4 starts

Michael Kopech U4.5 -107

*TB allows 5th least Ks this season (7.63) & least Ks in L3 (6.33)

*TB only has 4 players that are above 25% SO% - 5 of the players with most plate appearances are all under

Tyler Mahle U5.5 Ks -107

*WAS allows least amount of Ks this season (6.72) & 6th least Ks in L3 (7.67)

*WAS only has one eligible player who strikes out 25%+

*Mahle has had 6+ in two of the 3 starts he has had but WAS should give him fits

George Kirby U5.5 Ks -150

*STL only has one eligible player who strikes out over 25%

*Kirby hasn't touched 6Ks this season (3 starts) and this lineup doesn't make me feel he gets it tonight - taking the juice because the line is 1 K too high
