Carson Palmquist under 1.5 strikeoutsW

Jul 24, 2026 ET · Odds at publication 2.0600

Read original reasoning

Palmquist's last five outings: 1.2 IP (2 K), 0.1 IP (1 K), 3.0 IP (4 K), 1.0 IP, 1.0 IP. He is being managed on hard pitch limits — median outing under 2 innings. In two of his last three starts he recorded 2 K or fewer. Getting to 2 K requires him staying in long enough, which his pattern refutes. Under 1.5 at +106 has positive expected value.

Carson Palmquist under 1.5 strikeoutsL

Jul 10, 2026 ET · Odds at publication 2.1600

Read original reasoning

Palmquist has been used as an opener/reliever hybrid in 2026, logging exactly 1.0 IP in each of his last three starts. At that workload ceiling, his Ks in those outings were 0, 3, and 1 — going under 1.5 in two of three appearances. His overall 2026 line of 7 K in 6.1 IP equals roughly 1.1 K per inning. Facing an NYY lineup that strikes out at an elevated rate, the 3K outing (Jul 4 vs PIT) shows the ceiling exists, but the base rate is under. At +116, the market misprices this — true under probability exceeds the 46.3% implied odds given the strict inning limit Palmquist operates under.
