After nailing two plus-money strikeout props last night, we're back with three more strikeout props today.
With all 15 games starting in the night time, there are plenty of options on the board. Here are my favorite three.
April 23 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Ben Lively Over 4.5 Ks (-120) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
I'll take a stab at Ben Lively.
Lively has only faced 19 batters to begin his season with the Guardians. But he's struck out 36.8% of those 19 batters and held those batters to a wOBA of .261.
Meanwhile, he's facing a Red Sox lineup that has struck out 27.2% of the time against righties since last season. This lineup even includes Rafael Devers, who has been injured over the previous week.
Only Devers and Masataka Yoshida are low strikeout candidates against righties. That means Lively has seven targets in the Boston lineup but only needs five strikeouts in the entire game. Let's take his Over.
Ryan Pepiot Over 6.5 Ks (-136) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Like the Red Sox, the Detroit Tigers have seven players who have struck out at a high rate since last season against righties.
Only Mark Canha and Colt Keith have limited strikeouts against righties since last season in that lineup.
Meanwhile, they'll take on Ryan Pepiot of the Rays, who has struck out 30.7% of batters to begin the season. The young phenom has also held batters to a .152 ISO and wOBA of .269 to begin the season.
Pepiot figures to get through at least six innings. The Tigers' projected lineup has also hit a .128 ISO and wOBA of .295 against righties with only 7.8% of walks since last season.
Marcus Stroman Over 5.5 Ks (-108) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Marcus Stroman isn't typically a high-strikeout pitcher. But he's facing an Athletics lineup that has struck out 26.6% of the time against righties since last year.
Again, we're targeting a projected lineup with seven players with high strikeout rates since last year. Only J.J. Bleday and Nick Allen have limited strikeouts against righties since last season.
That said, Stroman has only struck out 20.9% of batters this season. That's also in line with last year's stats. However, he's held batters to a .136 ISO and wOBA of .290 with more than 61% of ground balls.
While his strikeout rate might not be tremendous tonight. He's got a lot of targets and should go fairly deep into this game. Therefore, I'll grab the Over.
