Kyle Murray's Phillies vs Marlins Best Bet: This Line is Too High

Jesus Luzardo Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-148)

By Kyle Murray

This is some significant juice to eat, but this number should likely be sitting at 5.5 strikeouts, as we have Jesus Luzardo projected for 4.72 strikeouts in our numbers at RotoGrinders.

Luzardo might have some added motivation in this matchup against his former team, but that doesn't change the bad projection for him compared to his line. Luzardo has some big strikeout numbers this season, but when you look at the splits, he is getting much of that done against lefties. Since the start of last season, Luzardo has struck out 38% of lefties, but that number drops all the way down to 21% against righties. The Marlins' projected lineup has nine righties, which sets up poorly for Luzardo's strikeout production.

Pick: Jesus Luzardo Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-148)
