Lefties are crushing Berrios - .869 OPS (roughly same as last season), and he’s always been bad on the road. Tucker is 4/8 against him, and hitting .308 at home so far - he also has an RBI in 8/18 games. Hitting behind Bregman, Alvarez and Abreu - should have men on base.

HOU -104

TOR -113

1.13u

Both starters have a 7.5+ ERA on the season, but Jose Berrios’ rough start is due to terrible luck. He’s been pitching lights out with a 23% K-BB rate but has been killed by a .419 BABIP and a laughable 34% left on base rate. Great time to invest in him. Garcia’s struggles have been real this year as his fastball has lost 1.2 mph and his walk rate is up to 10% thanks mainly to getting behind in the count often (only a 50% first pitch strike rate). Continue to fade Garcia until those underlying metrics improve.

No idea why the under is getting steamed like this (contrarian I guess) but I’ll happily grab an 8.5 here
