Best MLB Strikeout Bets: Lock In This Expert's Best MLB Player Prop Bets for Sunday

Many mid-tier starters are on the mound for today's MLB slate after the MLB rotations were reset after the All-Star break.

Let's finish the weekend strong with another three MLB strikeout props for today's matchups.

July 21 Best MLB Strikeout Props

Marco Gonzales Under 3.5 Ks (-106) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS

The Pirates will throw Marco Gonzales for today's matchup against the Phillies. Gonzales has only struck out 16.9% of his first 89 batters faced this season.

Meanwhile, he'll take on a Phillies lineup that has only struck out 16.8% of the time against lefties in the last 30 days. Only Kyle Schwarber and Christian Pache have struck out more than 18.5% against lefties.

Gonzales is typically better at earning strikeouts against lefties. But he'll also have just two lefties to face in this Phillies lineup: power sluggers Schwarber and Bryce Harper.

Let's take Gonzales to go Under 3.5 Ks.

Ben Lively Under 3.5 Ks (-106) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS

Ben Lively has struck out only 21.8% of batters this season. He's also added 22.4% of strikeouts over the last 30 days. He's been consistently getting a low amount of strikeouts.

He'll take on the Padres, who typically never walk against righties. They're aggressive at the plate instead. It's why the Padres' projected lineup has struck out just 14.6% of the time against righties and has only walked 4.6% of the time in the last month.

San Diego also only has two batters that have struck out more than 18.4% of the time over the last 30 days against righties.

Therefore, we'll back the Under for Ben Lively in today's game.

Seth Lugo Over 5.5 Ks (-104) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS

Over the last 30 days, Seth Lugo has earned over 30% of strikeouts. He's also held teams to a 6.3% walk rate and has allowed a .124 ISO and wOBA of .286.

Lugo is pitching really well right now.

Lucky for him, he'll take on a White Sox lineup that has hit a .105 ISO and wOBA of .265 over the last 30 days. This same projected lineup has struck out nearly 27% of the time and has walked only 5.7% of the time.

The White Sox projected lineup has six batters with a strikeout rate of at least 24.6%.

That's plenty of targets for Lugo. Back his Over.
