MLB Pitcher Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks

Tyler Glasnow OVER 5.5 Strikeouts (-160, DraftKings)

I'll start today's slate with a strikeout play out in San Diego as Tyler Glasnow takes the ball for the Dodgers.

The Good: Glasnow has hit this number in five of his eight starts so far this season. This includes a start with nine strikeouts, two starts with ten strikeouts and a start with a whopping 14 strikeouts already. He's also seen a lot of success against this current Padres lineup, and my model projects him to log 6.78 strikeouts tonight.

The Bad: The Padres have not struck out at a high clip against right-handed pitchers this season, logging a 20% strikeout rate. However, this number is so low, that I have no problem taking a chance at 5.5, which we can get at -160 on DraftKings.

Joe Ryan Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-135, DraftKings)

I'll head up to Canada for my second play of the day as we take a look at the over on Joe Ryan's strikeout prop.

The Good: Ryan has cleared this number in four of the seven starts he's made in 2024. He brings in a 28.8% strikeout rate over the last 30 days, and projects to a 30.25% strikeout rate today. My model also projects him to log 6.92 strikeouts in this one.

The Bad: Ryan hasn't cleared this number in each of the last two starts, and the Blue Jays don't strike out a ton against right-handed pitching (20.1% in 2024).

The projection is too high for me to fade here, and despite Toronto's low strikeout rate, this feels like a good opportunity for Ryan to get back on the right foot. I'll grab his strikeout prop at 5.5 on DraftKings at -135.

Carlos Carrasco UNDER 4.5 Strikeouts (-135, DraftKings)

We'll wrap up our pitching props for the day out in Chicago, as we take a look at the under on Carlos Carrasco's strikeout prop.

The Good: Carrasco has only cleared this mark in two of the seven starts he's made in 2024. He brings in just a 14.8% strikeout rate over the last 30 days and a 14% strikeout rate over the last 14 days. My model projects Cookie to have just 3.49 strikeouts in this one.

The Bad: The White Sox aren't very good, ranking 27th in wRC+ against right-handed pitching (76). They sit in the middle of the pack in terms of strikeouts against righties, bringing in a 23.3% strikeout rate into tonight's ballgame.

While I don't anticipate the White Sox to light Carrasco up, giving him an early hook and subsequently keeping him under this strikeout prop, I do think their outs will be due to soft contact. I can't see Carrasco having the "stuff" to log five strikeouts in this one, and we can get under 4.5 at -135 on DraftKings, while this line on other sportsbooks is much higher.

MLB Hitter Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks

Tyler O'Neill OVER 1.5 Total Bases (-105, DraftKings)

We'll head up to Boston for my first hitting prop of the day, we'll take a look at Tyler O'Neill's total bases prop to start things off.

The Good: O'Neill has had a great start to the 2024 season, and has eclipsed 1.5 total bases in 12 of the 28 games he's played so far this season. He has a .321 batting average and .322 ISO against southpaws to this point in the campaign. He also brings in a strong .565 wOBA against lefties over the last week, and projects to 2.59 total bases in this one.

The Bad: Nothing in particular. While Corbin has technically been better against right-handed hitters this season, he still brings in a .342 PBA against righties. Unless Corbin turns back the clock and pitches a gem here, he should have some issues with the Boston lineup, particularly Tyler O'Neill.

We're getting a great number on this line, with it coming in at even money on DraftKings. This is a "home run" play, which I may be interested in grabbing also.

Jonah Heim OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (-105, DraftKings)

I'll wrap things up out in Coors, as we take a look at Jonah Heim's over on his Hits + Runs + RBI prop.

The Good: The defending World Champions are looking to turn a corner here, and Heim looks to continue in his production, as he has hit this line in 20 of 33 games played this season. He's most recently coming off of a seven H+R+RBI game on Wednesday against Oakland. He brings in a .451 wOBA against left-handed pitching over the last two weeks, and projects to 2.52 H+R+RBI today.

The Bad: Heim has hit better from the left side of the plate this season, however, it's not by much. He has a .302 average against right-handed pitching and a .294 batting average against left-handed pitching. This line is also a bit juiced, but I feel this is such a good play, especially in Coors, that I'm comfortable taking it despite the odds.

Even at -170 on DraftKings, I feel this is a good play, and will be a good way to wrap up our Friday night and head into the weekends with some added bankroll.
