Here are a few strikeout props to consider for tonight's MLB slate!
September 5 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Clayton Kershaw Over 5.5 Ks (+124) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odd for this pick
Clayton Kershaw has struck out 27% of batters this season. However, in the last month since returning, he's only struck out 23.1% of batters.
Typically, the Miami Marlins are good at limiting strikeouts. But Miami has five batters striking out at least 22.7% of the time against lefties in the last month.
They've also struck out 22.2% of the time against lefties in the last 30 days as an entire projected lineup.
Kershaw has his targets. We're only asking for six strikeouts. If he can get through six innings against a Marlins lineup that has hit a .135 ISO and wOBA of .258, we'll be in good shape to hit this plus-money wager.
Kutter Crawford Under 5.5 Ks (-166) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odd for this pick
Kutter Crawford has watched his strikeout rate dip from 24% this season to 21.9% over the last month. Crawford has struck out 29.1% of righties in the last month. However, he's only struck out 12.2% of lefties in the previous 30 days. The Rays' projected lineup has hit a .193 ISO and wOBA of .383. They've also struck out just 20.7% of the time against righties. Only three players are striking out 25% of the time or more against righties in that lineup. Two of those are lefties, and Crawford struggles to strike out lefties. The Tampa Bay right-handed bats have only struck out 16.3% of the time. Take Crawford's Under.
Gerrit Cole Over 7.5 Ks (-116) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odd for this pick
Gerrit Cole has struck out over 25% of batters in the last 30 days. He's also held teams to a .287 wOBA in that time, throwing nearly 97 pitches per start in the previous month. He'll face a Detroit Tigers lineup that has struck out 27.2% of the time against righties in the last month. Only Miguel Cabrera has struck out below 26% of the time against righties in the last month. Cole has eight legitimate targets with this Tigers lineup. I'll gladly take Cole's Over. He can get to 10+ tonight.
