Jacob Misiorowski is a strikeout artist by trade, and STL's lineup is the next set of victims. The 38.4% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP fueled. The curveball (50.0% whiff) is the put away offering when he needs it. Jacob Misiorowski 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: Jacob deGrom, TEX vs LAA RHP | 115 K on season | Globe Life Field *115 K · 10.87 K/9 · 34.4% whiff · 3.48 ERA · 0.99 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate* Jacob deGrom runs a elite 34.4% whiff rate (90th+ percentile). Swing and miss stuff is the foundation of strikeout production, and his is the foundation of tonight's lean. The changeup (43.7% whiff) is the put away offering when he needs it. The 10.87 K/9 is the season long anchor. Take Jacob deGrom over his K prop. ## Honorable Mentions - **José Soriano** (LAA) vs TEX: 9.99 K/9, 33.2% whiff, 3.42 ERA, 111 K - **Paul Skenes** (PIT) vs ATL: 11.04 K/9, 28.3% whiff, 3.62 ERA, 119 K - **Max Meyer** (MIA) vs SEA: 9.79 K/9, 28.9% whiff, 2.53 ERA, 112 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.
