Kodai Senga started Game 1 against the Phillies, and the Japanese right-hander headlines our latest handicap as the Mets face the Dodgers in the NLCS series opener.
The Los Angeles Dodgers host the New York Mets in Game 1 of the NLCS on Sunday evening at Dodger Stadium. MLB odds have Los Angeles as a -161 favorite, while the total sits at eight.
However, the Japanese right-hander only needs a couple of innings to rack up three strikeouts, which is exactly what he did in that aforementioned Game 1 against Philadelphia. Senga is an elite strikeout talent as he finished last season in the top quarter of the league in both whiff and strikeout rates.
That puts him right at the number we need for the two-inning minimum we're likely to see from Senga, with the added upside of New York potentially allowing the former NPB All-Star to pitch deeper into the game., whose biggest weakness is Senga’s greatest strength: the strikeout. Muncy ranks in the bottom half of the league in both whiff and K rate andhits right after Muncy in the order, and he is also hitless through three career plate appearances against the righty.
