Carlos Rodon has always been a strikeout pitcher during his big league career. The lefty averages 10 Ks per nine innings, and he’s doing a lot of the same in 2025. Despite Rodon’s 5.48 ERA through four starts, he’s struck out 28 in 23 innings of work. When it comes to facing the Tampa Bay Rays, Rodon had 15 strikeouts in 11 innings last season. Against this current Tampa Bay lineup, Rodon has 17 Ks in 41 at-bats – nearly half. I have minimal confidence in Rodon throwing a scoreless outing, but I do believe he will collect his fair share of punchouts in this contest.
