Iain MacMillan took the under on Tylor Megill's 4.5 strikeouts total against the Astros, citing Houston's elite plate discipline, ranking second-best in the majors last season with just a 19.3% strikeout rate. The Astros had only seven strikeouts on Opening Day, continuing their disciplined approach. MacMillan expects regressive strikeout numbers from Megill this season, believing his 10.5 strikeouts per nine innings last year was an anomaly compared to just 7.5 in 2023, indicating a likely dip in his effectiveness in this category today.
