Yes...definitely if I had to pick one that is more "flukey" it's a starter doing this...but still not to be ignored once it gets to this point...BUT:
Kikuchi has 17 starts, but just 86 innings pitched= 5 innings exactly per start average
His team has scored 93 runs in his starts
His opponent's have scored 102 runs in his starts
His average total is right at 9
His average final is right about 11.5
He has only allowed 57 of the runs with the pen giving up 45...in 68 innings.
This is also literally the first (far) above average starter he's faced oddly as well...with his opponent on the mound ranging from hideous to demoted
