Max Fried hasn’t dominated this group of Bucs, but he has kept them in check. The veteran southpaw whiffed 22 of these current Pirates bats in 93 plate appearances, and I believe he can strike out 6+ today at PNC Park. Pittsburgh has some big swingers with significant whiff rates. Fried has struck out this lineup nearly 25% of the time. Pittsburgh has power, and they also have some speed, but they also strike out a ton. The sample size is small, but the Pirates own a 25% strikeout rate this year, which balloons to 47% against lefties.
