MLB Pitcher Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks

Joe Ryan OVER 5.5 strikeouts (+100 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Ryan had an absolute clunker in his last start when he allowed 10 earned runs to the Padres, but there is some solid value on this prop at + money. He will be facing the Tigers, who are posting the third-highest K rate against righties over the previous two weeks with a rate of 27.2% and are also posting a lackluster 62 wRC+ mark over that same span. Meanwhile, Ryan has struck out 16 Tigers across 12 2/3 innings pitched this season and has gone over this prop in both starts against them.

Zack Wheeler OVER 6.5 strikeouts (-115 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Wheeler gets a solid matchup against the Braves in this one as they are posting the fourth-highest K rate against righties over the previous two weeks with a rate of 27%. Wheeler has faced the Braves two times in 2022 and has gone over this prop in both starts while totaling 18 strikeouts across 13 innings pitched.

Yusei Kikuchi OVER 5.5 strikeouts (+120 DraftKings Sportsbook)

This is definitely going to be risky as Kikuchi has not gone deep recently, but the matchup and odds are very solid here. He will be facing the Rays, who are posting the fourth-highest K rate against left-handers over the previous two weeks with a rate of 28.9% while also posting just a 68 wRC+ mark. Kikuchi faced the Rays back on June 30th and managed to mow down eight of them.

Carlos Correa OVER 1.5 total bases (-125 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Correa is second on the Twins in OPS (behind Byron Buxton) against lefties with a mark of .820. He has hit two bombs and eight doubles in just 82 at-bats.
