Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Orioles gear up to take on the White Sox, all eyes will be on Erick Fedde, who’s had a mixed bag of performances lately. Coming off a recent stretch where he’s recorded only two strikeouts in his last outing against a weaker lineup, Fedde’s strikeout rate has been dipping. The White Sox, while they’ve had their struggles at the plate, have shown a tendency to put the ball in play, ranking among the lower half in strikeouts this season.
Moreover, Fedde’s tendency to pitch to contact—coupled with the White Sox’ recent uptick in making solid contact—creates a scenario where the under on 3.5 strikeouts seems enticing. With his recent form and the matchup dynamics, it’s hard to envision him surpassing that number, making this bet an intriguing play as we look for value in the pitching duel tonight.
