Despite that performance, Nola has a modest 53 strikeouts in 62 2/3 innings this season, for an average of 7.6 strikeouts per nine innings.
That might be alright for your ordinary MLB starter, but for a guy that averaged 10.7 K/9 over the previous four seasons, it's surprisingly low. However, that low number is helping set his strikeout total for today at just 5.5, which is ripe for the picking. Keep in mind that Nola is still 12th in the majors with a strike percentage of 66.9%, so he is making batters consistently miss.
Nola made five regular season starts against the Braves last year and fanned at least seven batters in each of those outings, racking up a total of 41 strikeouts across 34 1/3 innings.
