Cristopher Sánchez brings exactly that profile against DET. The changeup (45.3% whiff) is the put away offering when he needs it. The 10.27 K/9 is the season long anchor. Cristopher Sánchez is the K play I trust most in this spot. > **Dig deeper into pitcher arsenals** on the [Pitching Stats dashboard](/mlb/pitching-stats): see pitch mix, whiff rates, and velocity for every starter. ## Pick 2: Cam Schlittler, NYY vs WSH RHP | 131 K on season | Nationals Park *131 K · 10.53 K/9 · 27.6% whiff · 2.01 ERA · 0.93 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate* When a single pitch generates 33.5% whiffs at 46% usage, that's the K prop case. Cam Schlittler's 4-seam fastball is exactly that pitch. The 27.6% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP fueled. The 10.53 K/9 is the season long anchor. Ride Cam Schlittler to clear his K number. ## Pick 3: Logan Gilbert, SEA vs TB RHP | 114 K on season | Tropicana Field *114 K · 9.58 K/9 · 30.1% whiff · 3.19 ERA · 0.95 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate* Logan Gilbert runs a elite 30.1% whiff rate (90th+ percentile). Swing and miss stuff is the foundation of strikeout production, and his is the foundation of tonight's lean. The split-finger (37.8% whiff) is the put away offering when he needs it. The 9.58 K/9 is the season long anchor. Logan Gilbert is the K play I trust most in this spot. ## Honorable Mentions - **Joe Ryan** (MIN) vs LAA: 10.55 K/9, 26.5% whiff, 2.85 ERA, 122 K - **Eury Pérez** (MIA) vs CLE: 10.11 K/9, 28.7% whiff, 3.84 ERA, 89 K - **Yoshinobu Yamamoto** (LAD) vs AZ: 8.64 K/9, 28.2% whiff, 2.49 ERA, 100 K ## Related Guides - [MLB Stats Explained](/blog/mlb-stats-explained) - [Hitter vs Pitcher Matchup Guide](/blog/hitter-vs-pitcher-matchup-guide) - [MLB Weather Betting Guide](/blog/mlb-weather-betting-guide) ## Before You Lock Check the [Pitching Stats dashboard](/mlb/pitching-stats) for full arsenal breakdowns and the [Hitting Stats page](/mlb/hitting-stats) for pitch mix analysis showing which lineups are most vulnerable to certain pitch types.
