Best MLB Strikeout Bets: Lock In This Expert's Best MLB Player Prop Bets for Friday
There are plenty of intriguing matchups on tonight's MLB slate. I've added three strikeout props, and I'm looking to get back on track after two losing days.
Let's start the weekend off strong!
August 30 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Taj Bradley Under 4.5 Ks (+124) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Over the last month, Taj Bradley has seen his strikeout rate dip drastically. He's struck out 26.9% of batters this season.
However, over the last month, he's struck out just 18.5% of batters while allowing a .286 ISO and wOBA of .408.
Meanwhile, Bradley will face a Padres lineup that has only struck out 15.7% of the time against righties over the last month. Only two batters in the San Diego lineup have even struck out more than 18.4% of the time against righties in the last month.
With the way Bradley's pitching right now, asking for five strikeouts is a little too much. I'll gladly take plus-money on Bradley to go Under against this Padres lineup.
Bailey Falter Under 3.5 Ks (-130) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Bailey Falter will take the hill for the Pirates. The left-hander has struck out 19.7% of batters over the last month and 17.1% of strikeouts this season.
Tonight, he'll take on a Guardians projected lineup that has struck out just 16.4% of the time against lefties over the last month.
The Guardians have seven batters with strikeout rates below 22% over the last month against lefties. Jose Ramirez hasn't even struck out against a lefty in his previous 24 plate apperances against lefties.
Let's take Falter to go Under 3.5 Ks.
Albert Suarez Over 4.5 Ks (-132) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
The Orioles will run it back with Albert Suarez tonight. He's a right-handed pitcher who will make another start for the Orioles in Coors Field against the Rockies.
Suarez isn't known for high strikeouts this season. However, he's secretly added a 23.9% strikeout rate against his last 46 lefties. In addition, he's been on par with about 19% of strikeouts against righties over the previous month.
He'll battle a Rockies lineup that should have five lefties in the lineup. In addition, Colorado's projected lineup has struck out 29.2% of the time against righties in the last month. With seven batters striking out at least 25% of the time against righties, I like Suarez's chances to earn five strikeouts as long as he goes five innings.
