Y.Kikuchi u16.5 Outs-115
1.15u
Since June 1st, he’s under in 9/14, and he’s only finished 6 innings twice. He’s been pulled in the sixth inning each of his three starts as an Astro, as he really struggles the third time through the order (.937 OPS). The Sox have a solid history/familiarity against him, and they’ve been raking vs lefties with a 128 wRC+ and .847 OPS over the L30 - and that includes a 10% walk rate. Also a plus-plus matchup with pitch efficiency - Sox at 3.94 per PA (8th highest), and Kikuchi at 3.96 (32nd highest of 115 qualifiers).

Y.Kikuchi u2.5 BB-165
0.61u
Yusei Kikuchi U 2.5 Walks (Fliff -165) ⚾️ Kikuchi is under in 76% of starts this season and in 85% at home. He has a 6.4% BB rate, which is good for the top 74th percentile ☑️ Boston is 11th in BB% vs LHP in the last 15 days, but looking at the game logs 21 of the last 25 starting pitchers were under 3 walks allowed vs the Red Sox 🤯
