David Paulino Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Only 11 of tonight's 30 starters have a 2017 strikeout rate below 20%.
An unprecedented three pitchers (Max Scherzer, Jose Quintana, and Robbie Ray) project for eight strikeouts or more via the Daily K Predictor tonight. Quintana would be the surprise there with just a 7.8 SwStr% this year and 15 runs (four HRs) over his last seven innings, but the Rays have a 27.5 K% vs LHP. None of those three are even the top overall projected pitcher tonight (RotoGrinders Player Projections), as that falls on Chris Archer (not Max Scherzer) facing the White Sox. Archer has struck out one-third of batters on a 14.3 SwStr% over the last month, while the White Sox have a 17.2 K-BB% vs RHP. In addition, you have Jacob deGrom with a 31.5 K% and 15.2 SwStr% (both second on the slate) facing a Texas offense a Texas offense with a 31.8 K% over the last week. The Padres also have a 32.3 K% over the last week (facing Ray's 30.2 K%). James Paxton makes it a fourth pitcher with a 30% strikeout rate on this slate (30.2%, 14.3 SwStr%), while we also have David Paulino (47.1 K% in one start), Dinelson Lamet (38.1 K% through two starts) and Jeff Locke (35 K% in one start) finding rare ground in small sample sizes as well. In fact, only 11 of tonight's 30 starters have a strikeout rate below 20% this year.
