It's a fresh new week in the MLB!
With 15 games on today's slate, including an early matchup between the Mets and Phillies in London, we've got a lot of exciting matchups and prop bets to look at.
I've added a few player props for the afternoon portion of the slate.
Let's get after it!
June 9 Best MLB Strikeout Props
George Kirby Under 4.5 Ks (+110) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
George Kirby has only struck out 19.9% of righties this season. However, he'll take on a Royals lineup that has more righties than lefties in it.
Beyond that, the Royals only have two batters in the projected lineup that have struck out more than 22.4% of the time in the last month. Yet, those two batters, MJ Melendez and Nelson Velazquez have each hit an ISO of .189 or better in the last 30 days.
Therefore, it's unlikely Kirby has a big day with strikeouts. His whiff percentage is at just 20.8%, and his swinging strike percentage is at 11.2%. Both are below-average numbers this year.
Ty Blach Under 2.5 Ks (+100) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
The Rockies lefty, Ty Blach, has struck out only 11.4% of batters this season. While he's limited teams to a .141 ISO and wOBA of .335, he's been way worse against righties, allowing a .183 ISO and wOBA of .393.
In the St. Louis lineup, there will likely be at least six righties. Also, as a lineup, the Cardinals have struck out only 16.8% of the time in the last 30 days against lefties.
Only Nolan Gorman and Ivan Herrera have struck out higher than 20.7% of the time against lefties in the last month.
That said, Blach isn't a big strikeout pitcher. He's literally earned 4.5% of swinging strikes against righties this season. We'll grab his Under, even at 2.5.
Mitch Spence Under 3.5 Ks (-130) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
The Athletics will ride with Mitch Spence today. He's a righty who has struck out 20.3% of batters, including 27.2% of lefties. However, the right-hander has also struck out only 14.9% of righties.
Spence is in line to face six righties in Toronto's lineup, including seven batters with an ISO of at least .152 against righties in the last 30 days. Toronto's projected lineup has also struck out only 16.7% of the time against righties and has six batters with an above-average wOBA over the last 30 days against righties.
Spence has pitched somewhat well to begin the season. But he's not getting strikeouts against righties. That will hurt him against Toronto's lineup.
