Arizona Diamondbacks
Koch was fantastic in his first start of the year as he put in a quality start against the San Diego Padres. He went six innings giving up one run off of a solo home run while striking out four and walking two. Best of all he only gave up two hits.
He may be able to lock down a spot in the rotation if he keeps pitching like that. Plus the big leagues shouldn’t be anything nothing new to him as he has gained some some experience pitching in the MLB the last couple of years in short stints.

Philadelphia Phillies
Lively looked lively in his last start against the Pittsburgh Pirates as he was able to put in his first quality start of the year. He only gave up one earned off of five hits while striking out four and walking three. His walk-to-strikeout ratio now sits at six walks compared to 21 strike outs.
Despite having a 4.64 ERA, Lively has been pitching well with a 8.86 K/9 compared to 2.53 BB/9, and has just a 0.84 HR/9. Really his downfall has been bad luck as he owns a .385 BABIP. His FIP currently is sitting at a solid 3.69.

Aside from Lively’s ERA, he has been pitching some solid baseball. Koch may get knocked for a couple runs, but he has a top-three bullpen to back him up. Neither lineup has been crushing the ball, which makes the under the play in this one.
