August 21 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Alex Faedo Under 4.5 Ks (-108) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Alex Faedo has struck out just 22% of batters in the last month. That's on par with his 22.7% of strikeouts this season.
But most of his strikeouts are coming against left-handed hitters. He's earned 29% of strikeouts against lefties over the last month.
The Cubs' lefties have struck out under 15% of the time against righties in the last 30 days.
Only Dansby Swanson, Christopher Morel, and Yan Gomes have struck out at a rate above 21.6% in the Chicago lineup.
Meanwhile, Faedo has only struck out 14.3% of righties in the last 30 days. Let's take his Under in this game.
Allan Winans Over 4.5 Ks (+122) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
I'll take a stab at it.
Allan Winans added nine strikeouts against the Mets a couple of weeks ago. It was a day game of a doubleheader, and the Mets lineup was a bit weaker than it is now.
But the Mets still have four batters in the projected lineup that have struck out at least 25% of the time against righties in the last month.
Winans has earned 31.1% of strikeouts against 45 batters faced this season. He's also limited teams to a .049 ISO and wOBA of .242. Winans might actually be good. We'll find out tonight.
Let's take his Over at plus money. This is a no-brainer after his last start against the Mets.
Jordan Montgomery Under 4.5 Ks (+108) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Jordan Montgomery has struck out 21.3% of batters over the last month. That's below his yearly average of 22%.
Montgomery has dominated lefties. But righites have only struck out 20.5% of the time over the last month.
He'll face a Diamondbacks order that should have eight righties in the lineup. That lineup has also combined to strike out just 15% of the time. Only Kyle Lewis and Nick Ahmed have struck out more than 18.5% of the time against lefties.
Montgomery has also allowed a .167 ISO and wOBA of .324 to his last 127 batters. He might not last beyond five innings. Take his Under.
