We began the week with a huge 3-0 sweep on our strikeout props card. With 12 games on tonight's slate, there are plenty of opportunities to keep the streak alive.
Here are three more strikeout player props for tonight's MLB slate.
April 29 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Trevor Rogers Under 4.5 Ks (-155) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
The Miami Marlins will send out Trevor Rogers for tonight's matchup against the Nationals. Rogers is a lefty who has only struck out 15.7% of righties this season.
Unfortunately for him, he'll face a Nationals lineup that should have eight righties tonight.
Meanwhile, the projected lineup has also struck out just 16.8% of the time against lefties since last year. Only Riley Adams and C.J. Abrams (the lefty) have high strikeouts against lefties since last season.
Let's ride the Under 4.5 for Rogers.
Joe Boyle Over 5.5 Ks (+105) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Joe Boyle is the Athletics' starter tonight. He's a righty with 31.4% of strikeouts against other righties this season.
This is more of the same from last year, too. Boyle struck out 31.6% of righties last season despite only facing a small sample size of 38 righties.
Meanwhile, he'll be in line to face five righties in the Pittsburgh lineup. Those righties have also struck out nearly 25% of the time since last season. As a whole, the Pirates' projected lineup has struck out 25.3% of the time against righties since last year.
In that time span against righties, every Pirates batter has struck out at least 20.8% of the time. I'll take my chances with Boyle.
James Paxton Under 3.5 Ks (+115) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
James Paxton has some weird stats.
While he's got an ERA of 2.61, he's also struck out only 12.4% of batters while walking 19.1%.
It probably can't get worse than this. But the more walks, the harder it is to get deep into a game as the starting pitcher.
Ultimately, Paxton is taking on a Diamondbacks lineup that has only struck out 17.6% of the time against lefties since last year. Arizona isn't easily fooled by lefties, and Paxton clearly isn't fooling many hitters this year.
In addition, the Diamondbacks have smashed a .193 ISO and wOBA of .376 against lefties using their projected lineup. Paxton might work around trouble by keeping the power down, but his pitch count will creep up fast, and he won't get his outs from strikeouts.
