Newcomb's last 3 starts produced 0, 2, and 2 Ks across just 5.2 combined IP (2.0 IP, 2.1 IP, 1.1 IP). His bulk-reliever/opener role severely caps K volume: even at his 2026 K/9 of 8.23 (64 K in 70.0 IP), averaging ~1.8 IP per outing projects to only ~1.6 Ks per start. He generated zero Ks in his most recent outing and just 4 Ks total in his last three starts. The market prices Under at -132 vs Over at -105, reflecting the lean toward under. With role-driven IP limits and a NYM offense that put up 10 runs yesterday, the under line is the sharper side.
