Full-game total lean toward the under
With Pérez holding a 4.21 ERA and Jump at a 3.43 ERA, both starters have the potential to limit damage . This profile supports considering the under on the full-game total.
Gage Jump strikeout over as a rookie upside play
Jump has recorded 41 strikeouts in 42.0 major-league innings with a 25% strikeout rate . His efficiency makes the over on his strikeout prop an attractive rookie upside play.
