Proj closer to -140. Blanco is off to a hot start with a 30% K rate but his underlying metrics are pretty much in line with where we would normally expect him in the 23.5% range. He’s benefited from an easier schedule so far with 2 of the 3 games coming at home (he has a 5% higher K rate at home in his career). This is his toughest matchup yet, on the road, during the day (his K rate is 3% lower in day games over last 3 seasons)
