Best MLB Strikeout Bets: Lock In This Expert's Best MLB Player Prop Bets for Wednesday
Yesterday was a day to forget! It's rare for me to go 0-3 with strikeout props. But yesterday was one of them.

August 23 Best MLB Strikeout Props
MacKenzie Gore Under 5.5 Ks (-134) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
MacKenzie Gore came into the league as a prolific strikeout pitcher. But that hasn't been the case over the last month.
Gore has only struck out 21.6% of batters in the last 30 days. That's dropped from 26.9% this season.
Meanwhile, he'll take on a Yankees lineup filled with righties. That projected lineup has only struck out 15.9% of the time against lefties in the last month.
Gore has only earned 21.1% of whiffs and 10.2% of swinging strikes against righties in the last 30 days. Take his Under.
Luis Severino Under 5.5 Ks (-164) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Do we even know if Luis Severino can get six outs?
He's allowed a .364 ISO and wOBA of .510 against his last 76 batters. He's also allowed a .278 ISO and wOBA of .430 to 332 batters this season.
Severino has averaged under 75 pitches per start in the last 30 days and has struck out 18.4% of batters throughout the year.
He'll take on a Washington lineup that has limited strikeouts to 19.4% against righties in the last month. This lineup only has three batters striking out higher than 20% of the time.
Take Severino's Under too.
Xzavion Curry Under 3.5 Ks (-108) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Xzavion Curry has struck out just 16.7% of batters this season. Tonight, he'll face a Dodgers lineup with six batters striking out 22.2% of the time or less in the last 30 days. Curry has averaged just 52.33 pitches per appearance in the last month. You can't expect him to go deep. Curry has three legitimate targets in this Dodgers lineup. But chances are, he'll only pitch against this lineup twice. It will be hard for Curry to rack up strikeouts against this lineup with a limited amount of time on the mound. Grab the Under.
