Shane McClanahan OVER/UNDER 6.5 Strikeouts

 

SUGAR SHANE DADDY! Mr. McClanahan looks just like he did to start the 2022 season. Yet again, he’s a Cy Young favorite. The kid has been pitching sensationally. 7-0, 1.76 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 58 K/20 BB ratio across 45.1 IP. The walks are a bit high, something he really didn’t do much last season. But when you’re throwing the way he is, we can let it slide.

 

For the first time of the new season, McClanahan will face the Yankees. Last season, Sugar Shane saw them three times, and registered seven K’s every time out. NYY hasn’t even faced a lefty close to McClanahan, because there isn’t one that’s even close to him. The Yanks are in the top 10 of the fewest K’s in the league, but individually, they have five players with at least 24 strikeouts. And let’s remember, it all comes down to the matchup. This is one of those times where we say my guy is better than yours!

 

I’m backing McClanahan in a lot of different ways today, but most of all, strikeouts are the best path to success this afternoon.

 

 

Pick: McClanahan OVER 6.5 Strikeouts

James Outman OVER/UNDER 0.5 Total Bases

 

We’re taking a chance on the rookie today. James Outman is one of the favorites for NL ROY thus far. He’s been a big contributor for the Dodgers. We’re targeting the rare 0.5 total base number because there is a huge advantage with having to only get one hit to satisfy those requirements.

 

Outman has five hits in his last five games. Although he is a tad cool this month with just a .242 batting average, this dude is too good of a player to slump for long. The Dodgers will see Joe Musgrove for the second time in a row. Musgrove threw his first solid outing of the season in their last meeting, 5.2 innings, two hits, no earned runs. Prior to that, the Padres hurler got bombed by the Diamondbacks and Giants for 10 earned in only 8.1 innings. 

 

It’s a common thought that when a pitcher sees the same team in back to back starts, the offense has a significant advantage in the second matchup. It’s hard to think Musgrove is fully back because of one decent performance. Outman is starting to string together some knocks. All we need is one today.
