Only over in 3/7 starts - but he’s a regression candidate with an xERA (4.76) that’s much higher than his ERA (3.38). His hard hit % remains high (47% - roughly in line with last two seasons). He still throws a lot of pitches (4.07 pitches per PA - 21st out of 120), and ATL sees a lot of pitches (3.97 - 6th). ATL is also 1st in OPS and 2nd in wRC+ vs lefties. 9/12 lefty starters under this line this season.

Under 9.5-103
