Brady Singer's underlying strikeout metrics have improved against right handed batters, helping him over this line in four of his last six starts. He leans on the sinker and slider vs. righties, and against a righty heavy order that frequently strikes out on breaking pitches, he should lean on that slider with two strikes here. The sinker is not a pitch these hitters have struck out on much, so using more of the slider for strikeouts will be key. The two recent starts when he missed this line were blow ups, where he allowed at least four earned runs, but the Angels rank 5th worst in OPS vs. righties over the last month. I'm backing Singer to last long enough to get a 6th strikeout.
