      • 7.33 strikeouts per start across his last three outings (5, 8, 9); season rate is 10.26 K/9.
      • Rolling three-start workload is 17.0 IP and 288 pitches: 5.67 IP/start and 16.94 P/IP, clearing the workload gate.
      • Six-and-a-half requires seven strikeouts; early contact or elevated counts can end the outing below the number.
      Mr. Strikeouts
      • 11.65 L3 K/9 with 288 pitches across three starts projects to 6.0 IP and 7.8 Ks.
      • Last four starts: 81, 95, 112, 99 pitches; every start cleared 80 with no workload red flag.
      • The last four strikeout outputs were 5, 8, 9, and 8; one ordinary outing misses 7.

      • 10-start baseline: 4.1 strikeouts, with 10 of 10 starts staying below 6.5.
      • Last five starts averaged 5.0 strikeouts; all five stayed below the line.

      Why it likes it
      • Liquid anchors agree: Seattle 52c / Angels 48.5c and a 6.5 full-game total imply a near-even, low-scoring game.
      • 2026 MLB finals show an 8-run median and 8.94-run mean; this matchup's 6.5 anchor is a materially lower scoring environment.
      • A flat half-game split is 3.25 runs; stronger first-five starter conditions support a lower F5 center than that baseline.
      • Four or more early runs defeats the position; baseball scoring remains wide-tailed even in a 6.5 game.
    • No 9th-inning draw

      Ledger BalanceUp 22% last 30 days
      Why it likes it
      • Anchors imply Seattle near 52% and a 6.5-run environment; Pinnacle independently shows Seattle −111 and 6.5, so the guard passes.
      • T-Mobile Park historical sample: 328 games, 7.78 mean, 7 median, 13-run 90th percentile; the fit respects MLB's right-skew rather than assuming symmetry.
      • A 6.5-run fit distributes about 0.72 runs per inning; a balanced inning model gives roughly 55% draw and 45% no-draw.
      • A flat 0.72-run inning rate ignores bullpen quality, leverage, and ninth-inning game state.

      • Seattle's bullpen has 8 appearances, 8.67 innings and 135 pitches over three days versus Los Angeles at 7, 8.00 and 116.
