Unfortunately, we finished yesterday's slate 1-2 with our strikeout props.
But I'm ready to move on and earn some profit with tonight's slate of games.
Here are three strikeout props that you should consider in the MLB tonight.
August 9 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Alex Faedo Over 4.5 Ks (-134) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Alex Faedo has struck out 21% of batters throughout the season. Since returning to the diamond, he's also struck out 9.5% of batters.
But things are about to change tonight.
He's taking on a Twins lineup that has struck out 32.2% of the time against righties in the last month. Only Max Kepler has limited his strikeouts to below 25.9% against righties.
Faedo is a capable strikeout thrower and earned a 28% CSWhiff percentage in his last start. I'll take my chances on Faedo tonight.
Kyle Hendricks Under 3.5 Ks (-106) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Kyle Hendricks has struck out 15.2% of batters this season and 16% in the last month.
He's also allowed a .257 ISO and wOBA of .360 to his last 119 batters. Lefties have hit a .288 ISO and wOBA of .379, while righties have slugged a .230 ISO and wOBA of .344.
Hendricks will keep his walks down and his ground balls up. But he's not earning strikeouts and has thrown an average of 86.6 pitches per start in the last month.
Meanwhile, the Mets have struck out 14.8% of the time against righties in the last month using their projected lineup. Take Hendricks' Under.
Yu Darvish Over 6.5 Ks (-116) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Yu Darvish has struck out 26.4% of batters in the last month. That's a higher rate than his 25.4% of strikeouts on the season.
He's also held righties to a .068 ISO and wOBA of .239 and will likely face a balanced lineup with at least four or five righties.
Darvish has thrown over 90 pitches per start in the last month and has limited walks to 8.3%. He's also kept fly balls down to 20.3%, so there's a good chance he gets through at least six innings of work tonight.
On the other hand, the Mariners' projected lineup has struck out 25.9% of the time against righties in the last month. Seattle has five batters striking out at least 26.7% of the time and four batters that have struck out over 32% of the time against righties in the last month.
Darvish has plenty of targets tonight. Take his Over.
