Yankee StadiumBronx

Y.Kikuchi u5.5 Ks-115

Yankees will have 8 RHB in tonight’s lineup which will ding Kikuchi’s K rate as well as being on the road. Home plate ump Adrian Johnson tends to squeeze pitchers too. Projecting closer to -170

TOR o4+100

NYY -134

Available at FanDuel. I've got the Yankees at 65.7% versus 57.3% implied, I'm guessing in large part because I'm skeptical that Yusei Kikuchi has fully cured his issues from last year. His SIERA is low, but he's still letting up a 48.8% hard-hit rate and 44.2% fly-ball rate. Against this lineup in this park, that's rough. Domingo German, on the other hand, has good underlying data -- though there is some concern that his last start may have been aided by a sticky substance on his hands that he was forced to wash off. I'm fine being above market on the Yankees in this spot.
