Tanner Houck Looks To Continue Strong Start
8 months agoBoston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck will make his second start of the 2024 season on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. Houck was dominant in his first start, throwing six shutout innings with three hits, no walks, and ten punchouts against the Oakland Athletics. Houck relied heavily on two pitches, a sinker, and a slider, that shut down the Oakland lineup. His slider generated a 47.4% whiff rate, and his sinker, a minuscule .058xBA. The 27-year-old will face an Angels lineup with a below-average .211/.302/.364 stat line and an overall 24.4% K rate, making him an excellent option in DFS.
