How Many Strikeouts Will Justin Steele Get?
Justin Steele has been one of the Cubs’ most consistent pitchers this season, mostly due to his ability to strike out opposing hitters, as evidenced by the fact thathe averages K/9 is 8.6, after 82.1 innings of work.
However, for this Friday’s game against the Phillies, the situation will not be so easy. Philadelphia’s offense is going through a good patch and is not striking out much either as it is 15th in the majors with 782 strikeouts, 8.5 per game.
