How to bet them
Target outs-recorded / IP overs — efficiency means they go deep. Fade walks-allowed overs. K props are situational: target only when facing a high-K lineup in a large-zone ump / dry-humidity park.
Where they fail
When they leave the zone or fall behind in counts, the whole profile breaks — BB% spikes and a HR-or-two outing looks like a meltdown because their margin of error is so thin.
