In that game, he pitched six innings, while allowing two earned runs with two walks and seven strikeouts in six innings of work. Although he has had his share of strikeouts this season, he has six or fewer strikeouts in six of 11 starts in 2025. The model is projecting 6.4 strikeouts as the Yankees’ bats should rebound after a quiet Saturday. FanDuel Sportsbook has this prop at -110.
