Yesterday, we broke about even; it wasn't the night we were looking for. I firmly believe that if our losing nights break even, we will succeed in the long run. We have a Thursday slate with ten games on the docket, including a doubleheader at Fenway. I will share two favorite pitcher props: a single-game parlay on DraftKings and total base props on the short slate. Let's pick some more winners.

MLB Pitcher Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks
Michael King OVER 4.5 strikeouts (-140 DraftKings Sportsbook)
Our first bet of the day takes us to Boston, where the Yankees will play a doubleheader against the Red Sox. We will take Michael King on his strikeout prop in game one of the twin bill. The Yankees have been stretching King out as a starter over his last five appearances. His last time out, he got to 79 pitches. Over his previous three starts in which King was extended, he has a 34.0% K% and an 11.0% SwStr%. The Red Sox, over the last 30 days, own a 21.4% K% against right-hand pitching.
SGP, Kodai Senga 6+ Strikeouts and Merrill Kelly 5+ Strikeouts (-115 DraftKings Sportsbook)
I want to start by saying that I love these props in their own right. Parlaying them together for one less strikeout makes this my favorite bet on my card today.
Kodai Senga enters today's start with a 28.9% K% and a 12.6% SwStr% on the season. Over his last three starts, Senga has a 34.6% K% and a 13.2% SwStr%. His opponent, the Arizona Diamondbacks, has a 22.9% K% against right-handed arms in the last 30 days. Senga has double-digit strikeouts in two of his previous three games, so getting six tonight should be no sweat for the Japanese phenom.
Merrill Kelly comes in to play with a 26.4% K% and a 12.2% SwStr% on the season. Over his last six starts, Kelly has a 31.0% K% and a 12.6% SwStr%. He reached double-digit strikeouts in three of those six starts, including two 12-strikeout performances—the Mets strikeout against right-handed batters at a 24.5% clip in the last 30 days. I love the parlay of these two tonight, and I'm even adding the under with the 50% boost on DraftKings.

MLB Hitting Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks
Luis Robert Jr. OVER 1.5 total bases (+130 DraftKings SportsBook)
Luis Robert Jr. will square off tonight against the struggling Kenta Maeda. Over his last 30 days, Maeda owns a .506 wOBA, .361 ISO, and a 51.9% hard hit against right-hand hitters. He has given up a home run in ten straight starts. Robert is the best bat in this White Sox lineup. On the season, Robert owns a 121 wRC+, .348 wOBA, and a .529 SLG against the split. Not only do I think Robert gets his total bases here, but I believe he hits a home run as well.
