April 25 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Zach Wheeler Over 7.5 Ks (-140) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
I'm expecting another huge game from Zach Wheeler. To begin the season, he's struck out 30.2% of batters and will face a Reds projected lineup that has struck out 25.2% of the time.
Only one batter in the Cincinnati lineup has struck out below 21% since last season. Meanwhile, Wheeler has also limited walks to 5.6% and has held teams to a .095 ISO and wOBA of .232 to begin the year.
While the Reds have power, it's unlikely they'll showcase it against Wheeler, who is putting up ridiculous numbers to begin the season.
Wheeler has struck out 36.5% of righties and 23.8% of lefties. He'll face more righties than lefties. However, the lefties have struck out 27.5% of the time against righties, giving Wheeler even more of an advantage.
Cole Ragans Under 5.5 Ks (-120) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Cole Ragans is one of the best young pitchers in the game. However, he's a lefty facing a Blue Jays lineup that has only struck out 17.1% of the time against lefties since last year.
The Blue Jays' projected lineup only has one strikeout target: Davis Schneider, who has struck out 31% of the time against lefties. Everyone else has struck out below 20% of the time.
While Ragans has struck out nearly 30% of batters this season, the Blue Jays figure to be a tough matchup against the young left-hander. Let's take the Under.
Dakota Hudson Under 2.5 Ks (+122) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Dakota Hudson is not a strikeout pitcher. He's struck out only 12.5% of his first 96 batters faced this season. He's also walked 11.5% of batters and has struggled against lefties to begin the season.
The Padres should have more lefties than righties in the lineup. While San Diego hasn't hit lefties all that well, Hudson is definitely hittable.
He's allowed a .216 ISO and wOBA of .357 to his first 43 lefties and has given up 43.3% of fly ball contact, which is not ideal while pitching in Coors Field.
Meanwhile, the Padres have also struck out just 21.8% of the time against righties and have only two batters striking out more than 22.3% of the time against righties since last year.
