MLB Pitcher Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks

Brandon Woodruff OVER 7.5 strikeouts (+115 DraftKings Sportsbook)

This is solid value on Woody as he has gone over this total in five of his last six starts and three of his four starts against the Pirates this season. Currently, Pittsburgh is posting a K rate of 27.3% against righties over the previous two weeks, which is ranked fourth-worst in the league. They are also posting just a 70 wRC+ over that span, which should give Woodruff plenty of length.

Carlos Carrasco OVER 5.5 strikeouts (-135 DraftKings Sportsbook)

This one is a little scary and I wish we had better odds, but Carrasco does have a solid matchup against Atlanta in terms of strikeout potential and has eclipsed this total in three of his previous five starts. Currently, the Braves are posting the third-highest K rate against right-handers over the previous two weeks with a rate of 27.5% and are also walking at just a 6.7% clip, which should help keep Carrasco in the game.

Nick Pivetta OVER 5.5 strikeouts (+105 DraftKings Sportsbook)

The Royals have been struggling against righties lately and that may only continue to get worse with them having traded away Andrew Benintendi. They are currently posting the fifth-highest K rate against righties over the previous two weeks with a rate of 26.8%. Pivetta has struggled lately, but he has shown the ability to punch lackluster teams out, and the odds at + money here are definitely fitting into the equation.

MLB Hitter Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks

Xander Bogaerts OVER 1.5 total bases (+120 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Bogaerts currently leads the Red Sox in OPS against left-handed pitchers with a mark of 1.084. He will be facing Royals left-hander Kris Bubic, who has allowed seven dingers and 11 doubles to right-handers thus far in 2022 and is someone we have been looking to attack at a regular rate.
