Suárez is mentioned as part of a potential three-lefty playoff rotation, highlighting his role as a key depth piece in the Phillies' pen-and-rotation plan.

Suarez adds depth and consistency to Philly’s rotation, supporting a frontline trio with innings and strikeouts and contributing to the team’s strong overall pitching profile.

Suarez held steady, allowing three Dodgers runs on a couple of sac flies and a Muncy homer, before exiting with the Phillies still in the lead.

Suarez has posted double-digit strikeouts in three of his last five starts, with a season-high 12 K in six innings recently. His 9.4 K/9 since the All-Star break reinforces the 4.5 K prop, even against the Dodgers, who present a stern challenge but offer upside if Suarez goes deep.

Suárez has the best K rate since becoming a full-time starter in 2022 and has piled up 5+ Ks in many starts, including a string of sixes. A road test vs Dodgers makes the 4.5 and 5.5 strikeout lines intriguing for bold gamblers who chase ceiling.
