B Wade fired on Shane Bieber over 5.5 strikeouts at +134. Although Bieber fell short in six of his last seven starts, Wade emphasized context: every under came against clubs that rank bottom-10 in strikeout rate. Boston is the polar opposite, owning the third-highest K total in MLB. Bieber already punched out 11 Red Sox—his season high—in their April meeting and recorded 6 and 7 Ks in two 2024 starts versus them. With Boston fanning more than nine times per game, Wade expects Bieber to snap the mini skid and reach six or more punch-outs again.
