How to bet them
Fade pitcher K overs. Target batter K unders for opposing hitters. Target hits-allowed / TB-allowed overs when facing a high-ISO lineup with platoon advantage.
Where they fail
One mistake pitch per inning against an elite barrel-rate lineup flips ER from 2 to 6 in a single outing. Ump with a tight zone removes their called-strike lifeline.
