There are so many ace pitchers on the mound tonight! You know what that means! It's time to look at some overs for tonight's matchups.
Here are three strikeout props to consider for tonight's games in the MLB.
August 2 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Gerrit Cole Over 7.5 Ks (-116) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Gerrit Cole has struck out 31 of his last 100 batters over the previous month. He's also held those 100 batters to an ISO of .120 and wOBA of .248. Cole has been consistent, and his strikeouts have risen over the last month.
He'll face a Rays lineup that should have five batters in the lineup that have struck out at least 25.3% of the time against righties in the last month. Tampa Bay's lineup has also hit a wOBA of .297 against righties in the previous 30 days.
Therefore, Cole should pitch a quality start and go deep in tonight's game. Take him to earn eight or more strikeouts tonight.
Dane Dunning Over 4.5 Ks (-108) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Dane Dunning isn't an ace. But I like this spot for him.
Dunning has struck out 22.9% of righties over the last month and will face six righties in tonight's Chicago lineup.
His strikeout rate is low because Dunning typically faces more lefties than righties. But tonight will be different. He'll face a lineup with five batters striking out at least 25% of the time. He'd earn five strikeouts if he could earn a strikeout against each of those batters.
Dunning has earned over 10% more whiffs against righties than lefties and about 5% more swinging strikes against righties than lefties. That's going to be critical tonight.
Hogan Harris Under 4.5 Ks (-164) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Hogan Harris has seen an uptick in his strikeouts over the last month. But he's still only struck out 20% of batters throughout the season. Tonight, he'll face a Dodgers lineup that has only struck out 17.9% of the time against lefties over the last month. In that projected lineup, only Chris Taylor has struck out more than 21.4% of the time against lefties. The Dodgers have also hit an above-average ISO of .203 and wOBA of .357 against lefties over the last month. I doubt Harris lasts longer than five innings in tonight's game.
