Ryan's last 3 starts: 1 K (4.0 IP), 7 K (4.0 IP), 3 K (5.1 IP) — only one of three over 5.5. He's averaging barely 4.4 IP per start in that stretch, which hard-caps strikeout accumulation regardless of per-inning rate. Under at +104 is plus-money on a trend showing two of three recent starts well below the line. Ryan's outs prop (14.5) is also priced at +130 under, reinforcing the short-outing signal.

Ryan's 2026 season shows 135 K in 120.1 IP (~10.1 K/9), but his three 2026 starts specifically vs KC produced 4K (Jul 29), 5K (Jun 06), and 3K (Apr 01) — all under 5.5. His last two starts overall also sat at 4K and 3K, confirming a recent downtrend in volume. The KC-specific suppression pattern is consistent and spans multiple matchups across the season. Under at -102 is near even-money value on a pitcher who has not exceeded this line against this opponent a single time in 2026.

Ryan's last 3 starts vs CLE: 5K, 5K, 4K — 0-for-3 against this line. His 2026 K/9 is elite (~10.45) but the CLE matchup consistently suppresses his output. First start post-All-Star break with workload management likely; pitch count ceiling favors a shorter outing. Market is nearly even (-125 under vs -117 over), so the CLE-specific history and rest-day caution tips the scale under.
