We had another 3-0 sweep with our strikeout props last night! It's been a terrific week with these props.
Let's try to finish the week strong with three more plays for tonight's MLB slate.
August 2 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Luis Ortiz Under 3.5 Ks (-122) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Luis Ortiz has only struck out 17.8% of batters over the last month. The right-hander has actually seen a decrease in strikeout rate over the last month.
Meanwhile, he'll take on an Arizona lineup that has combined to strike out just 16.8% of the time against righties over the last month.
The Diamondbacks' lineup has just one player who has struck out more than 21% of the time against righties. Therefore, it's unlikely Ortiz will earn many strikeouts in tonight's game. Grab the Under.
Joe Ryan Over 6.5 Ks (-136) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Joe Ryan hasn't seen good strikeout numbers against lefties. However, he's added 35.6% of strikeouts against righties over the last month.
Those numbers matter more.
Why?
He's facing a White Sox projected lineup that includes more righties than lefties. Over the last month, the White Sox have combined to hit a .109 ISO and wOBA of .237 against righties.
Additionally, the White Sox have struck out 26.2% of the time. But those righties have combined for more than 30% of strikeouts. Ryan has some really good matchups against the Chicago righties. That should lead him to at least seven strikeouts and an easy quality start.
Yusei Kikuchi Over 6.5 Ks (-108) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
While there's a lot of pressure on Yusei Kikuchi with his new team, he's got a really good matchup tonight against the Rays.
The left-hander will make his Houston debut with a chance to add a super high amount of strikeouts. The Rays' projected lineup has struck out nearly 27% of the time against righties collectively.
Meanwhile, Kikuchi has struck out 30.3% of batters over the last month, including 38.9% of lefties and 28.8% of righties.
The Rays have six batters who have struck out at least 30% of the time against lefties over the last month. Kikuchi should make a very strong first impression with Houston fans tonight.
