A.Abbott u4.5 Ks-135

Projecting this closer to 4 strikeouts. Abbott just faced the Cubs and finished with 2 strikeouts. Cubs have been the second hardest team for LHP to strikeout (18.5%) and this roster has historically done well against him (3 strikeouts in 42 career at-bats). I also like that Carson Kelly is batting cleanup for Chicago as he’s never faced Abbott before but has been hitting lefties well this season with just 2 strikeouts in 27 at-bats against LHP.
