Don’t love going with an over here, but this is a very achievable line for Gray, especially with the added luxury of the Twins being up 1-0 in the series. He hit this in 13/16 full home starts this season, and has excellent K numbers vs the Jays main hitters, except for Springer. Bichette, Vlad, Belt, Chapman, Kiermaier have a combined 15 Ks in 52 PA vs Gray. Biggio/Merrifield (one will start) also with high K numbers vs Gray. Varsho is 0/2 with 0 Ks, but he’s been pretty brutal at the plate lately (25% last 30 days). That leaves Springer and Kirk as the only tough matchups here.

Sonny Serves Ks. Sonny Side Up. Sonny Scrambler. Sonny Sizzle. Those are just random nicknames I’ve thought about because this line is about as certain as Waffle House being open 24 hours a day.
