Cancel your plans tonight! It's Game 1 of the World Series! The Texas Rangers will have home-field advantage for the series, with Games 1 and 2, 6, and 7 at home. Of course, Games 6 and 7 are if necessary. In the first game, the pitching matchup will include Arizona's Zac Gallen and Texas' Nathan Eovaldi. Eovaldi has pitched much better than Gallen throughout the postseason. Can we expect the same tonight? Here are some strikeout props for Game 1 of the World Series.
October 27 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Zac Gallen Under 4.5 Ks (-112) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Zac Gallen has thrown in four postseason games this year. He's also reached at least five innings in every game. However, he's thrown no more than four strikeouts in any postseason start this year. He's coming off a six-inning performance against the Phillies, earning just one strikeout in six innings. Gallen has even allowed nine earned runs in his last two games and has given up multiple runs in each start. He's holding a 5.24 ERA. Meanwhile, the Rangers have just three batters striking out more than 20.4% of the time against righties in the last 30 days. Gallen doesn't have many targets and has struck out just 16.4% of batter in the previous 30 days. I'm on his Under.
Nathan Eovaldi Over 5.5 Ks (+104) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
On the other hand, Nathan Eovaldi has earned 28 strikeouts in 26 innings in the postseason. He's hit at least seven strikeouts in three of four starts in the postseason this year. The right-hander has struck out 31.9% of righties but only 20.4% of lefties in the last 30 days. However, Arizona should have more righties than lefties in the lineup tonight. The projected lineup has struck out nearly 25% of the time against righties, with five batters striking out at least 22.8% of the time in the last 30 days. They've also got eight batters striking out at least 20.4% of the time against righties. Eovaldi has plenty of targets. I'll ride his Over at home.
