The market isn't fully buying Mitchell Parker's success in his first two starts, but I don't see why this line is juiced to the Under. He threw 57 of 73 pitches for strikes while blanking the Astros for seven innings and racking up eight Ks in his last outing, and now he gets to face the offense with the worst OPS+ in the league that strikes out about eight times per game. On top of that, Parker has a 11.4 K/9 rate in his minor-league career, so his baseline for Ks should be relatively high. Once he gets more MLB action under his belt, the market will realize this line should've been 5.5 Ks.
