We've got plenty of baseball on the schedule tonight! I've got my eyes on many pitching matchups tonight, so I've added a few strikeout props for the 15-game slate.
May 10 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Tanner Houck Under 5.5 Ks (-138) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Although Tanner Houck has struck out 25.4% of batters this season, he's still only managed 21.2% of strikeouts against lefties.
He'll face a Nationals projected lineup that is in line to have five lefties in the lineup. Plus, those five lefties have only struck out 18.9% of the time this season against righties.
In addition, the righties have struck out below 21% of the time. As a whole, the lineup has struck out just 20.4% of the time, with only Nick Senzel and Eddie Rosario striking out at a high rate.
With only two legitimate targets in the Nationals lineup, I'll take the Under for Tanner Houck.
Charlie Morton Under 5.5 Ks (+110) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Mets' projected lineup has only struck out 19.6% of the time against righties since last year.
Meanwhile, Charlie Morton has only struck out 22.9% of batters but has since his strikeout rate dropped from 25.6% last season.
Morton has struggled with lefties, adding only 20.9% of strikeouts. That's not good for Morton, as he's in line to face more lefties than righties in New York's lineup tonight.
The Mets' lefties have combined to strike out just 18.3% of the time. Only J.D. Martinez (a righty) has struck out more than 20.7% of the time against righties this year.
Ranger Suarez Over 5.5 Ks (+114) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
I'll dabble with a plus-money wager.
Ranger Suarez has been elite for the Phillies this season. He's struck out 26.9% of batters and has held opponents to a .086 ISO and wOBA of .211 with nearly 60% of ground balls.
I don't see why Suarez can't go six innings tonight. He's facing a Marlins projected lineup that has hit a .100 ISO and wOBA of .258 with 21.6% strikeouts. Four batters in the lineup have struck out at least 25% of the time against lefties.
Plus, if Suarez goes six or seven innings, he'd have more opportunities against these high-strikeout bats, who are mainly near the top of the order.
