Last week was brutal - spent Sunday trying a new model and the leans went 3-1. Let's start the new week strong.

Jacob deGrom O8.5 Ks -109

*KC allows 6th most Ks this season (9.5) & 12th most in L3 (9.33)

*deGrom had 9 in his last start and is efficient

Merrill Kelly U4.5 Ks -121

*STL allows 9th least Ks on the season (8.25)

*6 possible hitters for the lineup strikeout less than 24.6% of the time

Kevin Gausman U6.5 Ks -134

*HOU allows 10th least Ks this season (8.38) & 7th least in L3 (7)

*Gausman has been consistent to start the season but this is the best lineup he has faced this season - the under is the move
