I faded three lefties yesterday. All of those lefties pitched incredibly well. However, thankfully, Jordan Montgomery only added three strikeouts despite pitching seven innings.
That Montgomery was +124, which saved us a little bit on our 1-2 day.
We're back to the drawing board. Here are three strikeout props to consider with tonight's MLB slate.
September 14 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Kevin Gausman Over 6.5 Ks (-130) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Kevin Gausman has struck out 33.3% of lefties over the last month. He's also struck out 30.2% of lefties throughout the season.
Tonight, he'll take on a Rangers lineup that should have seven lefties in the lineup.
Those seven lefties have struck out 23% of the time against righties in the last 30 days.
Gausman has five true targets in that Texas lineup: lefties Nathaniel Lowe, Leody Taveras, Jonah Heim, Josh H. Smith, and Evan Carter. Those five batters have struck out at least 24.1% of the time against righties.
Aaron Civale Under 4.5 Ks (-130) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Aaron Civale was never known for his strikeout rate before his trade to the Rays at the MLB Trade Deadline.
Civale has struck out 31.8% of batters in the last month despite earning just 21.4% of strikeouts this season.
Tonight, his rate should dip a bit. He'll face an Orioles lineup that has struck out just 17.9% of the time against righties in the last month. Only Austin Hays has struck out more than 21.7% of the time against righties in that projected lineup for Baltimore.
On top of that, Civale has only thrown an average of 89 pitches per start for the Rays in the last 30 days. That should help our case. Take Civale's Under.
Chase Anderson Under 3.5 Ks (-160) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
The Giants have six batters in the lineup that have struck out no more than 16.7% of the time against righties in the last month.
Meanwhile, Chase Anderson has only struck out 16.5% of batters throughout the season.
Anderson has averaged 73 pitches per start. He's also allowed a .242 ISO and wOBA of .392 to 303 batters this season. It hasn't been any better over the last couple of weeks. He's given up a .367 ISO and wOBA of .479 to his previous 35 batters.
The Giants only have three real targets for Anderson. But he's struggled against lefties, earning just 6.7% of strikeouts against his last 15 lefties. Two of the three batters with higher strikeout rates are left-handed batters.
Let's take Anderson to go Under 3.5 strikeouts.
