September 15 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Zach Eflin Under 4.5 Ks (-164) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Zach Eflin has struck out 27.6% of batters in the last month. However, he's only struck out 16% of lefties and earned 36.4% of strikeouts against righties. The Orioles should have at least six lefties in the lineup. The projected lineup has struck out under 20% of the time against righties, and Eflin hasn't been racking up the strikeouts against lefties like he has against righties. Baltimore has also hit a .212 ISO and wOBA of .374 against righties last month. Meanwhile, Eflin has only thrown about 84 pitches per start in the previous 30 days. Therefore, I'll take his Under for tonight's game.
Jon Gray Under 4.5 Ks (-118) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Jon Gray has been much worse against lefties than righties over the last 30 days. He'll face a Guardians lineup that should have seven lefties in the lineup tonight. That's not good news for Gray. Gray has only struck out 20.4% of lefties this season. He's also allowed a .213 ISO and wOBA of .429 to his last 73 lefties, with over 15% of walks. When the walks pile up, the pitch count starts to rise. When the pitch count rises, Gray's outings will shorten. On the other hand, the Guardians' projected lineup has only struck out 16.9% of the time against righties in the last 30 days. Take Gray to go Under 4.5 strikeouts.
Griffin Canning Over 6.5 Ks (-162) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Griffin Canning has struck out 40.6% of his last 32 righties. He's also struck out 29.1% of righties this season. Tonight, he'll take on a Tigers lineup that has struck out 28.4% of the time. The majority of the lineup should be right-handed. Only Miguel Cabrera has struck out less than 24.2% of the time against righties in that Detroit lineup. Canning has also held teams to a .108 ISO and wOBA of .267 while walking just 4.6% of batters. He should get deep in this game. Let's take Canning to earn at least seven strikeouts tonight.
