Ray carries a high upside for strikeouts, but SD's resurgence in plate discipline since the All-Star break lowers the floor. Expect Ray to flirt with double-digit whiffs in the right conditions, yet SD's contact-heavy approach can limit his ceiling. A win is plausible if SF can push runs early, but Ks may drift toward the mid-to-high single digits. This is a game where Ray's hot streak vs SD hinges on getting early outs and keeping his pitch count manageable.
