L.Giolito u5.5 Hits Allowed-140

Giolito is looking to rebound after a poor 2022. He’s changed his mechanics and apparently in great shape heading into this season. He was extremely unlucky last season with a .340 BABIP and this is best market to back him in his first start. Projecting him to stay under 5.5 around 65% of the time
