Brent Rooker thrives when facing left-handed starters, batting .365 with a 1.091 OPS in those games. He's just 1-9 in his career against Yusei Kikuchi, but with only 2 strikeouts in those ABs, there's reason for optimism. Rooker also owns a strong .887 OPS at home this season. We set his line at +285 to homer.

Caesar’s. Yusei Kikuchi has stayed under this strikeout line in 21 of his 29 starts this season, including eight of his last eleven. He’s tweaked his arm slot midseason, which has resulted in a drop in velocity and less missed bats. With only eight strikeouts in 11.1 innings against the Athletics this season, I don’t see Kikuchi generating enough whiffs to clear this number.
