Analysis
Paxton has not hit 6 Ks all season, and he only got 3 Ks vs Washington in 6 innings last season. Paxton is not a K pitcher but the book has to make the number high due to the Dodgers being such favorites. The Nationals are actually batting better than the Dodgers in the last week and have good plate discipline. This projection is 1.27 under the book.
