Twenty-four-year-old Baltimore Orioles pitcher Grayson Rodriguez is tied for the most wins in the AL, with twelve of them.

Yusei Kikuchi: Under 6.5 -165

Luck has not been on Yusei Kikuchi's side lately. In his last start against the Detroit Tigers, the Toronto pitcher kept the Tigers scoreless until fifth inning with eight strikeouts, before loading the bases, setting the stage for a grand slam.

Now 4-9 with a 4.54 ERA, Kikuchi's 10.1 strikeouts per nine innings is his highest since 2022. Even as trade rumors continue to swirl around the Japanese starter, he will take to the mound against Texas on Friday.

George Kirby: Under 6.5 -135

The 3.41 ERA held by the Seattle Mariners is the best in MLB. Pitcher George Kirby has been a top contributor to that figure. Now 7-7 with a 3.20 ERA, Kirby is tied with Logan Gilbert for the most strikeouts on his club over the past month, with 33 of them. Tonight, Kirby will face the White Sox. In his only other career game against Chicago, in August 2023, the 26 year-old struck out nine in 5.2 innings.

Brewers starter Freddy Peralta will make his first start on Friday since posting a six-inning shutout of the Minnesota Twins on July 20. Peralta's 138 strikeouts lead his club's pitching staff by a considerable margin, and the Dominican has struck out 45 in nine career games against the Miami Marlins, who will be visiting Milwaukee this weekend.

Kodai Senga: Under 6.5 -160

The Mets' game against the Atlanta Braves on Friday will mark Kodai Senga's first start of the 2024 MLB season. The 31-year-old Japanese starter went 12-7 with a 2.98 ERA last season, throwing 202 strikeouts in 166.1 innings to finish second in NL Rookie of the Year voting.
