Yesterday, I added three plus-money strikeout props to the betting portfolio. We went 2-0 only because Bryan Woo was scratched last minute.
Funny enough, I was most confident in Woo's strikeout prop heading into the night.
Anyway, we're back with three more strikeout props for tonight's MLB slate. Let's get after it!
June 12 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Javier Assad Over 4.5 Ks (-130) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
The Cubs will send out Javier Assad for tonight's showdown against the Tampa Bay Rays. While he hasn't been consistent in striking out right-handed batters, Assad has still earned 25.8% of strikeouts against lefties.
He'll take on a Rays lineup that should have four lefties in the lineup. Those four lefties have combined to strike out 31.1% of the time against righties over the last 30 days.
In addition, the righties in the Tampa Bay lineup haven't been much better, striking out 26.7% of the time against righties in the last 30 days.
Assad has enough good matchups to add at least five strikeouts tonight.
Braxton Garrett Under 4.5 Ks (-148) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
We faded Jesus Luzardo's strikeout prop against the Mets last night and cashed. We'll do the same with Braxton Garrett.
The Mets' projected lineup has struck out only 15.1% of the time against lefties over the last 30 days. The lineup has also hit a .185 ISO and wOBA of .362 against lefties, which is above average.
Meanwhile, they'll face Garrett, who has only struck out 20.4% of batters this season. Over the last 30 days, Garrett's strikeout rate has even dropped to 17.6%.
Therefore, we'll take his Under. Only Brandon Nimmo has struck out more than 20% of the time against lefties in the last month.
Jonathan Cannon Over 4.5 Ks (+118) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Jonathan Cannon has struck out just 22.4% of batters this season. However, he's added 27% of strikeouts against lefties with only 17.9% of strikeouts against righties.
He'll face a Mariners projected lineup with more lefties than righties. The five lefties in the projected lineup have also struck out 26.5% of the time against righties in the last month.
With five legitimate targets for Cannon, let's give Cannon a go. After all, the Mariners also have five batters with a high strikeout rate of at least 23.1% over the last month against righties.
