May 14 Best MLB Strikeout Props
Chris Bassitt Under 4.5 Ks (+126) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Chris Bassitt has struck out only 21.3% of batters this season. He's added 25.3% of strikeouts against righties but has only added 16.9% against lefties.
He'll face a Baltimore lineup that will likely have six lefties in the lineup. Those lefties have combined for just 16.4% of strikeouts. Meanwhile, as a projected lineup, including the three righties, the Orioles have struck out only 18.7% of the time.
Bassitt doesn't have many legitimate targets to rack up strikeouts. At +126, I'll take a gamble with Bassitt's under.
Ryan Weathers Under 4.5 Ks (-146) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Marlins will pitch left-hander Ryan Weathers tonight. He's been dominant against lefties but not so much against righties.
Unfortunately for him, Weathers is facing a Tigers lineup that will likely have seven righties in it. Those righties have only struck out 19.4% of the time against lefties this season.
Meanwhile, Weathers has struck out just 15.8% of righties to begin the season. Last year was more of the same, with just 14.5% of strikeouts against 193 righties.
Detroit's offense has potential against Weathers. The majority of Weathers' outs will be in play. Take his under.
Carlos Rodon Under 5.5 Ks (-148) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Carlos Rodon has struck out only 20% of righties this season. As a lefty, he's always had a harder time adding strikeouts against righties. Last season, he added 21.2% of strikeouts against righties despite striking out 28% of lefties.
Rodon is in line to face a Minnesota Twins lineup that has struck out only 18.4% of the lefties this year. In the lineup, the Twins will likely have nine righties. If Rodon can't add a single strikeout against a lefty, it'll be incredibly difficult for him to add six strikeouts against righties when he's only added 20% of strikeouts against them this season.
