Let's finish off the weekend strong! Here are three strikeout props you'll want to consider for today's massive 15-game slate.
July 7 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Michael Mercado Over 4.5 Ks (+108) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Michael Mercado has only thrown to 22 batters this season. However, those 22 batters have struck out 22.7% of the time.
He's also faced 13 righties and struck out 30.8% of them.
The good news is that the Atlanta Braves should have six righties in today's lineup. Those six righties have struck out 27.5% of the time.
Additionally, the Braves have hit a .145 ISO and wOBA of .254 over the last month against righties. Mercado likely throws well against the Braves and earns a high rate of strikeouts against the righties. Back his Over at plus money.
Grayson Rodriguez Over 6.5 Ks (-138) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Grayson Rodriguez has struck out over 26% of batters this season. He's also held batters to a .151 ISO and wOBA of .306.
If anything, he'll probably improve these numbers against the Athletics today. The Athletics have struck out more than 28% of the time over the last month. They've got five batters who have struck out at least 32.5% of the time and seven batters with a strikeout rate of at least 20.9% against righties.
Beyond that, the Athletics have hit a .152 ISO and wOBA of .279 over the last month. Rodriguez likely gets through at least six innings and holds the Athletics off the board. Let's back his Over 6.5 strikeouts.
Dallas Keuchel Under 3.5 Ks (-166) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Since Dallas Keuchel returned to the MLB mound, he's allowed a .316 ISO and wOBA of .416 with 21.4% of strikeouts. However, those strikeouts have come mostly against lefties. He's only struck out 9.4% of righties and has allowed a .321 ISO and wOBA of .453 to 32 righties.
The Dodgers figure to have seven righties in the lineup today. The two lefties would be Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman—both rarely strikeout against lefties. Meanwhile, the seven righties in the projected lineup have combined to strike out just 12.2% of the time against lefties.
Where is Keuchel getting his four strikeouts?
