Let's get the weekend started off right. Here are three strikeout props to consider for tonight's MLB slate.
August 9 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Carlos Rodon Over 6.5 Ks (-138) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
In the last 30 days, Carlos Rodon has added 35.6% of strikeouts against his last 90 batters.
The left-hander has struck out 42.1% of lefties but has also earned 33.8% of strikeouts against righties.
While he's allowed some power, he'll take on a Rangers projected lineup with an ISO of just .124 against lefties over the last month.
In addition, the projected lineup for Texas has struck out 25.5% of the time against lefties in the last 30 days and has seven batters with strikeout rates above 21% against lefties in that span.
Let's take Carlos Rodon to earn at least seven strikeouts in tonight's ball game.
Miles Mikolas Under 2.5 Ks (+124) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
There is no typo. Miles Mikolas' prop is stuck at 2.5 tonight.
He's a right-handed pitcher who has struck out only 11.7% of batters over the last 30 days. Mikolas doesn't walk many, but he's allowed a .284 ISO and wOBA of .422 to his last 94 batters.
On the other hand, he'll face a Royals lineup that is very aggressive. The projected lineup has walked only 5.6% of the time against righties. Instead, they put the ball in play, striking out just 15.6% of the time against righties over the last month.
This lineup only has one batter with a strikeout rate that is above 21% over the last month. Therefore, we'll take Mikolas to go Under 2.5 Ks at plus money.
Jose Quintana Over 4.5 Ks (-132) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Over the last 30 days, the Mets left-hander has struck out 24.7% of batters. That's up from the 18.7% of batters he's struck out this season.
That's a significant change over the last month and a change that can't go unnoticed. Not against the Mariners, who have struck out 25.7% of the time against lefties over the last month.
Seattle's projected lineup has six batters with strikeout rates of at least 23.1% against lefties. Inside the lineup, there are also four batters with strikeout rates at 33.3% or higher against lefties.
Quintana has plenty of targets to add at least five strikeouts in tonight's game against the Mariners.
