News intel confirms Hunter Brown starts for HOU, meaning King reverts to a relief role. His last 3 appearances: 1.0 IP (3K), 1.0 IP (0K), 0.2 IP (1K). In 2 of 3 appearances he recorded 1 or fewer strikeouts. Under 1.5 in a limited-inning relief role is the likely outcome in most scenarios. Market prices this at -159 / 61.4% implied probability — reasonable for a reliever who may pitch 1 inning or not at all.
