## Pick 1: Cristopher Sánchez — PHI vs TOR

LHP | 103 K on season | Rogers Centre

*103 K · 10.77 K/9 · 33.4% whiff · 1.46 ERA · 1.09 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

**Top K play tonight.** A 33.4% whiff rate is in territory only a handful of starters in the league reach. Cristopher Sánchez brings that to the mound against TOR tonight.

The changeup (49.6% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it. The 10.77 K/9 is the season-long anchor.

## Pick 2: Kyle Harrison — MIL vs ATH

LHP | 73 K on season | Las Vegas Ballpark

*73 K · 11.51 K/9 · 29.5% whiff · 1.57 ERA · 1.03 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

Kyle Harrison's 11.51 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 ATH he keeps adding to the season total.

The 29.5% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP-fueled. The 4-seam fastball (31.6% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it.

## Pick 3: Gavin Williams — CLE vs NYY

RHP | 94 K on season | Progressive Field

*94 K · 10.42 K/9 · 30.9% whiff · 3.20 ERA · 1.08 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

Gavin Williams runs a elite 30.9% whiff rate (90th+ percentile). Swing-and-miss stuff is the foundation of strikeout production, and his is the foundation of tonight's lean.

The sweeper (43.9% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it. The 10.42 K/9 is the season-long anchor.

## Honorable Mentions

- **Will Warren** (NYY) vs CLE — 9.83 K/9, 24.1% whiff, 3.22 ERA, 70 K
- **Emerson Hancock** (SEA) vs BAL — 8.97 K/9, 23.5% whiff, 2.80 ERA, 70 K
- **Ian Seymour** (TB) vs BOS — 9.58 K/9, 29.3% whiff, 5.23 ERA, 33 K
