Career vs Junk: 3 PA, 0-for-3, .000 AVG, .000 OPS — went 0-for-2 in 2026 meeting as well. Season .239 AVG and .736 OPS vs RHP already signals below-average contact production against right-handers. Under 0.5 hits at +140 offers plus-money value against a batter with zero career hits off this pitcher in limited but consistent exposure. Under 6.5 game total context supports suppressed CHC scoring overall.

Busch is 0-for-4 career vs Burns (0.000 OPS) with PAs spanning both 2025 and 2026 — two separate seasons of no production against him. His season vR OPS is 0.740, modest against right-handed pitching. Burns' elite swing-and-miss rate makes Busch's consistent hitless track record more credible than a fluke. +122 carries value given the multi-year sample.

Busch is 0-for-4 with 0.250 OPS against Harrison in 2026 (4 PA). His season vL OPS is 0.741 — mediocre against left-handed pitching, which is exactly what Harrison is. Busch's overall numbers (.239/.349/.391) are below league average and his L7d OPS has cratered to 0.590. With Harrison's 11+ K/9 and Busch's poor left-on-left splits, the under at +134 represents clear plus-money value. Four plate appearances of 0.000 AVG against this starter in the current season is a meaningful signal even acknowledging the small sample size.
