Povich 2026: 11 K in 16.1 IP (~6.1 K/9), a low rate that maps to roughly 3-4 Ks per typical 5-inning outing. Last 3 starts: 4K, 5K, 2K — two of three under the 4.5 line. Last outing vs NYY was only 4.0 IP (5 ER). MIA lineup, while struggling (16-21, L4 streak), still makes contact (.250 team AVG). At near-even odds (-104), the under is the slight lean given Povich's limited K upside and short recent outings.

Read original reasoning

Povich has recorded only 2, 4, and 5 Ks in his last 3 starts — none exceeded 5.5. His 2026 line shows just 2 K in 5.2 IP. Career profile is not a swing-and-miss pitcher (5.20 ERA, ~10.5 K/9 in 2025 but only 2 K this season opener). SF Giants team strikeout rate as batters not elite. Under 5.5 at -123 is slight market lean but supported by all three recent starts falling short.
