M.Stroman u5.5 Ks+105

1.05u

Stroman has a career high K/9 of 10.0 right now, but his underlying metrics suggest he should regress towards his typical 7.9 K/9. He has a few easy K chances (2/4/9 hitters have a 30%+ K chance first PA) but the rest of the lineup should be a bit tougher to K. Projecting this closer to -150

OAK +152 (F5)

OAK has the worst bullpen (6.13 xFIP) while CHC has quietly been strong (3.22, 2nd). This is more a fade of Marcus Stroman. He has a 2.88 xERA compared to his 1.00 thru 3 starts and has struggled with BB% (11.3%). About league avg in hardhit% and expecting him to struggle at some point Waldichuk has struggled a ton, but a bright note: 65th percentile in hardhit% and is entering off a better start vs BAL (6.1, 3R, 4Ks)
