August 17 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Adam Wainwright Under 3.5 Ks (-152) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Adam Wainwright has struck out just 11.8% of batters this season. Over the last 30 days, he's added 14.3% of strikeouts, but he's giving up a .261 ISO and wOBA of .490 to his previous 77 batters.
Wainwright has also averaged under 70 pitches per start over the last 30 days and has walked 17.1% of lefties.
Meanwhile, the Mets have five batters striking out under 20.5% of the time against righties. The lineup has also hit a .206 ISO and wOBA of .334, which isn't terrible either. Wainwright shouldn't last longer than five innings. Take the Under.
Zac Gallen Under 5.5 Ks (-122) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Zac Gallen has struck out 27.8% of batters over the last month. That's a solid number. But he's also allowed a .195 ISO to his previous 126 batters and has given up nearly 29% of fly balls with over 24% of line drives over the last 30 days.
The Padres don't have much power. They're also not getting on base at a high rate. But the projected lineup has limited strikeouts to 16.7% against righties over the last month. Only two batters in the Padres' lineup have struck out more than 20% of the time against righties.
The Padres will make things difficult for Gallen. Take Gallen's Under for strikeouts.
Rich Hill Under 4.5 Ks (-138) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Let's stay in the same game. Rich Hill has struck out 18.1% of batters in the last month. He came over to the Padres at the MLB Trade Deadline and hasn't been very good.
Hill has allowed a .250 ISO and wOBA of .422 against his last 105 batters. He's also averaged just 84 pitches per start in the previous 30 days.
Hill will face a Diamondbacks lineup that has struck out just 12.8% of the time against lefties in the last month. Only one batter in the lineup has struck out more than 21.4% of the time against lefties in the previous month.
Hill is not a prominent strikeout pitcher. He'll pitch to contact. Take his Under as well.
