## Pick 1: Cam Schlittler — NYY vs CLE

RHP | 81 K on season | Yankee Stadium

*81 K · 10.13 K/9 · 28.8% whiff · 1.50 ERA · 0.85 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

**Top K play tonight.** When a single pitch generates 35.0% whiffs at 47% usage, that's the K-prop case. Cam Schlittler's 4-seam fastball is exactly that pitch.

The 28.8% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP-fueled. The 10.13 K/9 is the season-long anchor.

## Pick 2: Kyle Harrison — MIL vs SF

LHP | 61 K on season | American Family Field

*61 K · 10.72 K/9 · 28.6% whiff · 1.57 ERA · 1.03 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

Kyle Harrison's 10.72 K/9 puts him in elite strikeout territory — the kind of arm that punches out a batter every nine pitches he's in the game. Tonight against SF he keeps adding to the season total.

The 28.6% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP-fueled. The 4-seam fastball (30.8% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it.

## Pick 3: Davis Martin — CWS vs MIN

RHP | 71 K on season | Target Field

*71 K · 9.51 K/9 · 28.4% whiff · 2.00 ERA · 0.99 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

9.51 K/9 is among the best in the game. Davis Martin faces MIN tonight, and if the strike zone cooperates, the K total piles up fast.

The 28.4% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP-fueled. The slider (51.2% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it.

## Honorable Mentions

- **Lake Bachar** (MIA) vs WSH — 10.21 K/9, 34.2% whiff, 3.77 ERA, 32 K
- **Nathan Eovaldi** (TEX) vs STL — 8.84 K/9, 31.5% whiff, 3.93 ERA, 67 K
- **Logan Gilbert** (SEA) vs NYM — 9.12 K/9, 28.0% whiff, 3.69 ERA, 69 K
