Walker has simply been exceptional from the mound this season. He hasn't punched out a lot of hitters consistently. However, when facing a struggling team such as the Marlins, he could get some nasty Ks in for the team. So, expect him to get some punchouts tonight.
Pick: Taijuan Walker over 4.5 strikeouts (-115)
