There's an 11-game slate on the horizon in the MLB. Therefore, I looked through all 22 starters and found the three most appealing matchups for today's strikeout props.
Let's get right to it!
August 12 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Ben Lively Under 4.5 Ks (-102) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Ben Lively will pitch for the Cleveland Guardians. He's a right-handed pitcher who has added just 18.4% of strikeouts over the last month. That's lower than his season's average of 20.5%.
Additionally, he'll take on a Chicago Cubs lineup that has only struck out 17.8% of the time against righties over the last 30 days. Ian Happ, Michael Busch, and Seiya Suzuki have high strikeout rates against righties. However, those three also have high ISOs against righties and have added more than 10% of walks against righties in the last month.
Those three still have the potential to get on base against Lively. The rest of the lineup has been good at making contact and putting the ball in play over the last month against righties.
Let's take Lively to go Under 4.5 Ks tonight.
Luis Gil Over 6.5 Ks (-128) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Over the last 30 days, Yankees right-hander Luis Gil has struck out 30% of batters. That's above his usual average of 28.5%.
That said, he'll face a Chicago White Sox projected lineup that has hit a .119 ISO and wOBA of .267. But more importantly, the same lineup has struck out 26.2% of the time against righties over the last 30 days.
The lineup has five batters who have struck out at least 28.3% of the time against righties over the last month.
While Gil has had his ups and downs this season if he can keep the walks down, expect a big night for the Yankees' righty.
Chris Sale Over 8.5 Ks (+114) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Chris Sale will compete against Blake Snell in one of the most exciting pitching matchups of the season.
Sale, like Snell, knows he'll need to be perfect in tonight's game.
Over the last month, Sale has struck out 30.9% of batters. He's also held his last 94 batters to a .071 ISO and wOBA of .290- with 42.9% of ground balls and 19.6% of fly balls allowed.
He's been terrific.
And now, tonight, he'll face a Giants lineup that has struck out 28.4% of the time against lefties over the last month. There are six batters in the lineup with strikeout rates of at least 26.1% against lefties.
Sale will take advantage. Grab him to go Over 8.5 Ks.
