James Paxton o4.5 Strikeouts (-125 DraftKings)

The San Diego Padres are set to faceoff against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday Night Baseball for the 5th time already this season. The offensive aggressiveness of this Padres team is likely to play into the strengths of the starting pitcher James Paxton tonight.

Looking at San Diego's lineup, only Machado and Wade have above average K-rates this season meaning the Padres have done an excellent job putting the ball in play.

Paxton is a veteran pitcher (35y), who has made a career limiting opposing teams to hard contact. The LAD starter ranks in the 76th percentile in barrel rate allowed meaning he's been entirely difficult to read and square up in both of his starts this season.

He's also ranking in the 72nd percentile of SwStr% (Swing and Miss / Total Pitches) this season with a remarkable 12.8%.

So although Paxton is facing a Padres team that have been efficient at putting the ball in play, he has been dominate garnering swings and misses this season which will likely work in his favor vs this highly aggressive San Diego team.
