The Dodgers-Guardians game was suspended in the third inning. We have Xzavion Curry to go Under 3.5 Ks, and he only had one through two innings after allowing five hits and three runs.
That was going to be a winner. But some sportsbooks potentially voided it.
Anyway, we still finished 2-0 with our other strikeout props. So it was a great day! Let's have another day tonight!
August 24 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Jose Berrios Over 4.5 Ks (-146) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Jose Berrios has struck out 24.5% of batters in the last month. He's also struck out 24.8% of lefties this season.
He'll take on an Orioles lineup that has six lefties in the lineup. Those lefties have struck out 21% of the time. However, the lineup has five players that have struck out at least 22.6% of the time against righties.
Berrios only needs five strikeouts and has more than half of the lineup as targets. Baltimore has hit a .168 ISO and wOBA of .313 in the last 30 days against righties with their projected lineup. The offense isn't that lethal anymore. Take Berrios to get at least five strikeouts.
Andrew Heaney Over 5.5 Ks (+114) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Andrew Heaney is a left-handed pitcher, earning 27.4% of strikeouts against righties in the last 30 days.
The lefty typically faces way more righties than lefties per start. Tonight, he'll see at least eight righties in the Minnesota lineup.
The Twins have struck out 23.3% of the time against lefties in the last 30 days. But that's only due to Carlos Correa and Royce Lewis' strikeout rates. The rest of the lineup has struck out at least 22.9% of the time. That's seven targets for Heaney, including a lefty in Matt Wallner.
At plus money, with seven real targets, I like Heaney's chances if he can stay consistent and pitch more than 75 pitches.
Merrill Kelly Over 6.5 Ks (-122) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Merrill Kelly has struck out 25.5% of batters this season. He's also stayed consistent over the last 30 days, earning 24.8% of strikeouts.
He's had success against righties and lefties, earning 25.4% of strikeouts against righties and 25.6% against lefties.
Tonight, Kelly will take on a Reds lineup with eight batters striking out at least 25.7% of the time against righties over the last 30 days.
Only TJ Friedl has kept his strikeout rate lower than 25% over the last 30 days against righties. Take Kelly to earn at least seven strikeouts tonight.
