Jose Urquidy has looked really good so far this year for the Houston Astros as far as strikeout rates go. Urquidy has 12 Ks in just over 10 innings pitched so far this season. The thing with him is his pitch count is fully stretched out, so that’s a good thing facing the Seattle Mariners. It’s been a 25% strikeout rate for them versus righties since the start of last year, so you might want to avoid Ms bats at FanDuel tonight.
Urquidy has been getting back to leaning on that slider and the pitch that kind of led to his breakout in 2019.
