You won't be bored today. Baseball starts at 12:35 pm ET, and other games begin near 10:00 pm ET.
On top of that, there are some very good pitchers on the mound throughout the day. In my other article, I struggled to find players that I liked to hit home runs. That usually means we'll get some pretty good pitching today.
Here are multiple strikeout props that you should consider for today's games in the MLB.
June 8 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Kyle Bradish Over 5.5 Ks +112 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Kyle Bradish isn't known for his strikeouts. But he's facing a Brewers lineup that has struck out 25.7% of the time against righties over the last month.
Only Christian Yelich and Owen Miller have struck out less than 22.6% of the time against righties. Six of the batters in the Milwaukee lineup have struck out at least 26% of the time against righties in the last month.
The Brewers don't earn many line drives and are hitting a wOBA of .283 with their projected lineup against righties over the last month. I'll take my chances with Bradish to earn at least six strikeouts.
Zack Wheeler Over 7.5 Ks -144 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Zack Wheeler has a 4.02 xFIP with 25.6% of strikeouts over the last month. He's not getting a lot of ground balls and giving up lots of fly balls.
But he's facing a Tigers lineup that has struck out nearly 25% of the time against righties in the last month. The Tigers have eight batters striking out at least 21.2% of the time or more.
This projected lineup also has a .097 ISO and wOBA of .264, so I wouldn't be surprised if Wheeler went at least seven innings in this game.
Drew Smyly Over 4.5 Ks -110 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Drew Smyly has only earned 19.1% of strikeouts over the last month. That doesn't seem high. However, he's totaled nearly 21% of strikeouts against righties in the last month.
He'll face an Angels lineup that has struck out 30.6% of the time against lefties in that same time. That lineup has eight righties and Shohei Ohtani in it. They've got six batters striking out at least 25% of the time against lefties.
Ohtani has struck out 45.5% of the time, and Trout has struck out 33.3% of the time in the last month against lefties. Smyly should rack up strikeouts. One strikeout per inning is doable against this lineup. That would mean Smyly would have to pitch five innings.
