Here are another three strikeout props to consider for today's massive MLB slate.
April 5 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Grayson Rodriguez Over 6.5 Ks (+100) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Last season, Grayson Rodriguez struggled to strike out lefties. He only struck out 21.8% of them and allowed a .206 ISO and wOBA of .374.
However, in his first start of the season, he faced five lefties, held them to a .000 ISO, and struck out four of them.
Meanwhile, he was always good against righties. He struck out about 27% of righties last season and held righties to a .122 ISO and wOBA of .297. It was the left-handed batters that were concerning. But after his first start, I'm no longer concerned.
Rodriguez struck out 40.9% of batters in his opener and will face a Pirates lineup that struck out 26% of the time against righties last season. Ultimately, the entire projected lineup struck out at least 20.9% of the time against righties. There are so many targets for Rodriguez in this matchup. Grab his Over at +100.
Jordan Hicks Under 4.5 Ks (-134) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Jordan Hicks struck out 30% of batters in his first start with the Giants. He hasn't allowed any extra-base hits and has only walked five batters. But I'm just not sure if that's sustainable, not against the Padres, who struck out only 13.8% of the time against righties last season.
Hicks can get a little wild at times. A few walks would really hurt his pitch count throughout the game. He's also not super stretched out yet. He only threw 80 pitches in his debut.
Therefore, I'll grab Hicks' Under. There aren't many targets for Hicks to earn strikeouts, and I'd be surprised if he got past five innings.
Brady Singer Over 5.5 Ks (+114) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Last season, Brady Singer was super inconsistent. But after his first start of the season, it's clear to see how much potential he has.
Singer struck out nearly 35% of batters faced in his first start. He also walked only 3.8% of batters and earned nearly 79% of ground balls while giving up just 7.1% of line drives and 14.3% of fly balls.
He's slated to take on a depleted Chicago White Sox lineup. This projected lineup has struck out 22.1% of the time against righties. However, Yoan Moncada, Luis Robert, Andrew Vaughn, Braden Shewmake (4 PA), and Martin Maldonado all struck out at least 23% of the time last year against righties.
Singer has plenty of targets to earn six strikeouts and win us a plus-money bet.
