Morris has been pulled catastrophically early in each of his last three outings: 0.1 IP (0 K), 1.0 IP (1 K), and 2.0 IP (2 K). His season K/9 of 8.39 is irrelevant when he can't record more than 6 outs. Under 1.5 means 0 or 1 strikeout — he hit exactly that threshold in two of his last three starts and went under in one more. The market is at -222 because this is one of the clearest data edges on the board. DET's lineup with Melton on their side will be patient; Morris won't survive long enough to rack up Ks.
