## Pick 1: Jacob deGrom — TEX vs BOS

RHP | 84 K on season | Fenway Park

*84 K · 10.77 K/9 · 33.4% whiff · 3.18 ERA · 0.99 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

**Top K play tonight.** Whiff rate matters more than K/9 over short windows, and Jacob deGrom's elite 33.4% whiff rate (90th+ percentile) is the strongest signal on the slate. BOS is the canvas.

The changeup (43.9% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it. The 10.77 K/9 is the season-long anchor.

## Pick 2: Cam Schlittler — NYY vs TOR

RHP | 89 K on season | Rogers Centre

*89 K · 9.77 K/9 · 27.5% whiff · 1.87 ERA · 0.87 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

Cam Schlittler has a strikeout pitch in his 4-seam fastball (33.2% whiff rate, 46% usage). TOR is going to see it every other at-bat.

The 27.5% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP-fueled. The 9.77 K/9 is the season-long anchor.

## Pick 3: José Soriano — LAA vs TB

RHP | 87 K on season | Angel Stadium

*87 K · 9.55 K/9 · 33.2% whiff · 2.96 ERA · 1.24 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

A 33.2% whiff rate is in territory only a handful of starters in the league reach. José Soriano brings that to the mound against TB tonight.

The split-finger (46.0% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it. The 9.55 K/9 is the season-long anchor.

## Honorable Mentions

- **Lake Bachar** (MIA) vs PIT — 10.22 K/9, 32.2% whiff, 2.97 ERA, 41 K
- **Yoshinobu Yamamoto** (LAD) vs CWS — 8.52 K/9, 29.5% whiff, 2.68 ERA, 73 K
- **Ben Brown** (CHC) vs SF — 9.16 K/9, 27.6% whiff, 1.74 ERA, 58 K
