## Pick 1: José Soriano — LAA vs TOR

RHP | 54 K on season | Rogers Centre

*54 K · 10.52 K/9 · 33.8% whiff · 1.74 ERA · 1.09 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

**Top K play tonight.** When swings result in whiffs at this rate (33.8%), Ks follow. José Soriano brings exactly that profile against TOR.

The curveball (48.3% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it. The 10.52 K/9 is the season-long anchor.

## Pick 2: Cristopher Sánchez — PHI vs COL

LHP | 60 K on season | Citizens Bank Park

*60 K · 11.23 K/9 · 32.1% whiff · 2.42 ERA · 1.34 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

11.23 K/9 is among the best in the game. Cristopher Sánchez faces COL tonight, and if the strike zone cooperates, the K total piles up fast.

The 32.1% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP-fueled. The changeup (51.7% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it.

## Pick 3: Jacob deGrom — TEX vs CHC

RHP | 47 K on season | Globe Life Field

*47 K · 11.37 K/9 · 31.0% whiff · 3.11 ERA · 1.01 WHIP · 22.0% opp K rate*

11.37 K/9 is among the best in the game. Jacob deGrom faces CHC tonight, and if the strike zone cooperates, the K total piles up fast.

The 31.0% whiff rate underneath confirms the stuff is real, not BABIP-fueled. The slider (40.0% whiff) is the put-away offering when he needs it.

## Honorable Mentions

- **Gavin Williams** (CLE) vs MIN — 11.00 K/9, 29.4% whiff, 3.28 ERA, 60 K
- **Davis Martin** (CWS) vs SEA — 8.80 K/9, 25.2% whiff, 1.64 ERA, 43 K
