July 5 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Reese Olson Over 5.5 Ks (-122) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Over the last 30 days, Reese Olson has increased his strikeout rate. He's only struck out 21.7% of batters this season, but over the last 30 days, he's added a 23.8% strikeout rate.
More specifically, he's added 25.4% of strikeouts against righties in the last month.
That's significant, especially because the Reds righties have struck out 22.5% of the time against righties over the last 30 days. Meanwhile, Olson isn't earning a super high strikeout rate against lefties. But the Reds' lefties have struck out 26.6% of the time against righties.
Olson ultimately has a higher chance of earning some strikeouts against lefties when facing this Reds lineup. Let's grab the Over 5.5 Ks for Olson tonight.
Cole Ragans Over 7.5 Ks (-118) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
The Royals ace lefty, Cole Ragans, will take the hill for Kansas City. He's added over 30% of strikeouts over the last 30 days and has tallied 35.6% of strikeouts against righties.
In tonight's Rockies lineup, Ragans will take on seven righties in the Colorado lineup. He's held righties to a .141 ISO and wOBA of .247 and has earned a strikeout against more than a third of right-handed batters over the last 30 days.
Even in Coors Field, Ragans has the potential to add many strikeouts. Let's take our chances.
Kevin Gausman Over 6.5 Ks (-158) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
In the last 30 days, Kevin Gausman has earned an above-average strikeout rate of 23.3%. He's had success against both sides of the plate, gaining 23.3% of strikeouts to righties and 23.3% of strikeouts against lefties over the last month.
Tonight, he'll face a Mariners lineup with eight batters who have struck out at least 23.1% of the time against righties. Ultimately, five batters have struck out more than 30% of the time in the Seattle lineup against righties in the last month.
While Gausman has allowed a high ISO and wOBA to his last 133 batters, the Mariners only have three real threats in the lineup. That means there will be six batters who have really struggled against righties in the last month for the Mariners.
Take Gausman to add at least seven strikeouts.
