The Hot Corner: Plays for Wednesday, June 21st
Yesterday was so close to a massacre but Cole & Stroman saved us last minute.
Tyler Wells O5.5 Ks +114
*TB strikes out 23.3% vs RHP in L30
*TB strikes out 3rd most in L3 (11.33)
*4 strike out targets in the lineup
Wells has been stellar this year and with the Rays recent performances I love this to continue. Take the over with confidence.
Andrew Abbott O6.5 Ks -106
*COL strikes out 29.8% vs LHP in L30
*COL strikes out 2nd most in L3 (12.67)
*7 strike out targets in the lineup
Abbott hasn't hit 7 Ks yet but this matchup is perfect. He has the stuff to have a day today so take the over with confidence.
Rich Hill O4.5 Ks -141
*CHC strike out 25.9% vs LHP in L30
*CHC avg 9 Ks in L3
*6 strike out targets in the lineup
Hill has been a pleasant surprise so far this season. Juiced at 4.5 but let's take the bankroll & run.
Miles Mikolas U3.5 Ks -110
*WAS strike out 15.9% vs RHP in L30
*WAS allow 4th least Ks in L3
*No strike out targets in the lineup
Mikolas started the season racking up the strike outs but has cooled off as of late. This Washington lineup is stingy - 3.5 is a low line but I am confident.
Luis Castillo O6.5 Ks -148
*NYY strike out 22.8% vs RHP in L30
*NYY avg 9.33 Ks in L3
*5 strike out targets in the lineup
Castillo faces a lineup without the heavy hitters - he should take advantage. Juice up for a reason but taking the wins is the priority.
Garrett Whitlock O5.5 Ks -114
*MIN strikes out 31.3% vs RHP in L30
*MIN strikes out 3rd most in L3 (11.33)
*Every hitter in the lineup is a strike out target
Whitlock has performed well as of late and has only allowed a hit to one of the batters he has faced before (5 hitters). The over is the move.
