August 19 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Luis L. Ortiz Under 3.5 Ks (+122) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
The Pirates will pitch Luis L. Ortiz for tonight's matchup against the Rangers. Ortiz has only struck out 12.1% of batters over the last month. He's also allowed a .267 ISO and wOBA of .331 to his last 116 batters.
While the Rangers haven't hit lights out against righties, the projected lineup has only struck out 19.8% of the time against righties over the last month.
Only two batters in the Texas lineup have added a higher strikeout rate than 22.1%. Therefore, there aren't enough targets for Ortiz to earn strikeouts. If anything, the Rangers could bust out of their slump against Ortiz.
Take the Under 3.5 Ks here.
Carson Fulmer Under 3.5 Ks (-184) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
It's heavily juiced, but I still think there's value.
After all, the Royals have only struck out 15.4% of the time against righties over the last month. Seven of the nine batters in the Kansas City lineup have struck out no more than 17.4% of the time.
Meanwhile, they'll face Carson Fulmer of the Angels, who is a right-handed pitcher with only 18% of strikeouts over the last month. Additionally, Fulmer has allowed a .258 ISO and wOBA of .356 in the last month and likely won't last more than five innings against this Kansas City lineup anyway.
The Royals rarely walk because they're aggressive at the plate against righties. Let's back Fulmer to go Under 3.5 Ks as well.
Tanner Houck Under 4.5 Ks (+100) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Boston has penciled in Tanner Houck to get the start tonight against the Astros. Houck is a right-hander who has earned just 11.2% of strikeouts over the last month. He's also allowed a .164 ISO and wOBA despite holding teams to 54.4% of ground balls and 18.4% of fly balls.
Houck might very well pitch a quality start. But he's not fooling any hitters. He's just getting good contact that leads to outs.
That said, the Astros have struck out only 18.6% of the time over the last month against righties using the projected lineup. Houston only has two batters with strikeout rates of higher than 18.4%. Let's take Houck to go Under 4.5 Ks with just two targets in the Houston lineup.
