August 23 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Carlos Rodon Over 8.5 Ks (+120) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Carlos Rodon has struck out 29.2% of batters over the last 30 days. The Yankees lefty has added strikeouts against 34.6% of lefties and 27% of righties over the previous month.
Tonight, he'll battle a Rockies lineup that has been awful against lefties in that same time period. The Rockies' projected lineup has hit a .116 ISO and wOBA of .290 over the last month. They've also struck out 27.2% of the time against lefties over the previous 30 days.
That said, Rodon has thrown more than 102 pitches per start over the last 30 days and should get pretty deep in this game. He'll also have six targets in the Rockies lineup who have struck out at least 25% of the time against lefties in the last 30 days.
Let's take Rodon to add at least nine strikeouts at +120.
Jack Kochanowicz Under 2.5 Ks (+126) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Jack Kochanowicz of the Angels has struck out 7.9% of the 89 batters he's faced this season. Against his last 54 batters, he's tallied just 3.7% of strikeouts and has earned no strikeouts against his last 25 lefties.
The majority of the Blue Jays lineup is right-handed. There are also five batters in the lineup with strikeout rates of 20.5% or better over the last month against righties.
While Joey Loperfido and Leo Jimenez are legitimate targets, Kochanowicz has earned just 5.6% of swinging strikes over the last 30 days. It's hard to imagine he earns back-to-back strikeouts against those guys.
Let's take his Under 2.5. It's also unlikely he gets through 80 pitches.
Brayan Bello Under 4.5 Ks (+100) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Brayan Bello has earned a high rate of strikeouts against righties. But he's only added 16.7% of strikeouts against lefties over the last 30 days.
Unfortunately for Bello, he'll take on an Arizona lineup with eight lefties. Those eight lefties have hit a .278 ISO and wOBA of .410 against righties over the last month. The lefties have also collectively struck out below 20% during the previous 30 days against righties.
Meanwhile, Bello has not just struggled with strikeouts against lefties. But he's allowed a .203 ISO and wOBA of .350 with 13.9% of walks against lefties. When he faces lefties, he's a bad pitcher who will give up many runs.
Consider grabbing Bello to go Under 4.5 Ks against the Arizona lineup.
