Bradford has 16 K in 30.1 IP in 2026 (4.75 K/9) — a steep decline from his 2024 rate. Last 3 starts: 3, 0, 3 Ks (2.0 K/start average). Per Yahoo Sports, hitters have posted a .380 wOBA and 18.0% blast-contact rate against him — these are hard-contact metrics, not chase-and-whiff patterns. Bradford is generating weak contact and walks (7 BB in 30.1 IP) but not strikeouts. SEA's lineup (Arozarena, J.P. Crawford, Naylor) is patient and contact-oriented vs LHP. Under 3.5 at +116 offers positive value given Bradford has gone under in all 3 of his last starts.

Bradford's 2026 K rate: 10 K in 15.1 IP (5.9 K/9). His last 3 starts: 4 K, 1 K, 5 K — average 3.3 per outing. Most damning: his Aug 11 start vs this exact LAA lineup produced 7.0 innings but just 1 K. Bradford is a weak-contact inducer, not a swing-and-miss arm, and LAA does not rank as a high-K lineup. Getting the under at +106 — with the market nearly split — represents real value given Bradford's per-start profile and his demonstrated inability to rack up Ks against this specific opponent.

Bradford's 2026 K rate is extremely low: only 6 K in 11.1 IP (4.86 K/9). Last 3 starts: 1 K, 5 K, 4 K — averaging just 3.3 Ks per outing. He induces contact rather than missing bats. The 4.5 line sits above his recent ceiling. Under is the clear play and the -147 price reflects market awareness, but the edge still holds.
