Fricking Kikuchi keeps pulling me back in. Mitch White is basically a glorified Casey Lawrence but Kikuchi has stuff that can be devastating. His K rate is insane since moving to the bullpen - obviously pitching in low leverage where his numbers are probably a bit inflated against guys who may have checked out a bit.
Seattle has a lot of lefties in the lineup but I don’t think they’ll keep him on the roster for a best of three because they hope that Manoah and Gausman can eat up innings.
