Astros K Props

[EaglesPhan36]

It looks like the Swing & Miss-Stros are back again. 20 Ks through two games from this lineup. They ranked 2nd to the Cubs last year in Ks, an avg of 8.9 per game.

Kluber got 7 Ks in 7.1, Carrasco 10 Ks in 6 yesterday. Want to track how successful this prop can be. These are from Bovada. Let me know if other books have these.

4.9.15
CLE Trevor Bauer Total Ks Over 6 @ -115

[EaglesPhan36]

7Ks in 3 IP. Candy crush.

4.10.15
TEX Derek Holland Total Ks Over 5.5 @ -110
This will be a good test. Holland is not a large K guy, but Houston is just pitiful so far. 16 more Ks.

[EaglesPhan36]

Unfortunate. Holland gone after 1. Guessing his dog tripped him in the dugout?

Unfortunate. Holland gone after 1. Guessing his dog tripped him in the dugout?

Does your bet get cancelled if he leaves the game due to injury?

[EaglesPhan36]

Don't believe so. Believe the only stipulations are he must start and the game has to go 8.5 innings.

4.11.15
TEX Yovani Gallardo Total Ks Over 5 @ -130

[EaglesPhan36]

A pretty simple winner in 5 IP.

[EaglesPhan36]

Another good test here with Lewis not being a major K type pitcher, but Houston against whiffing like that's how they get paid.

4.12.15
TEX Colby Lewis Total Ks Over 5 @ +110

[EaglesPhan36]

Probably a push. Lewis' pitch count pretty high. Would be a little surprised to see him pitch the 8th, then again he's got a good groove since his early trouble.

4.13.15
OAK Scott Kazmir Total Ks Over 6 @ -110

[EaglesPhan36]

So to date, the only one of these that did not at least push was the Derek Holland one where he got hurt in the 1st inning, actually pre-game warmups and only lasted an inning.

[EaglesPhan36]

There was no K prop on 4-14-15

4.15.15
OAK Drew Pomeranz Total Ks Over 5.5 @ -150
Chalky McChalk, but of course it's still a go. Will probably wait and see if it goes to 6 with a better price.

[EaglesPhan36]

Poor performance by Pomeranz & he still had 5Ks in 5 IP. Loss nonetheless.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Has this been profitable? Another angle to look at is the under on Astros team totals.

[EaglesPhan36]

I know it was last year. Of course the problem is the juiced prices on some of these. I just wanted to track this all season & see where it winds up.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

what kind of juice on the k props? -115?

[EaglesPhan36]

You can see the last one it was -150. They vary from game to game depending on the pitcher of course

[EaglesPhan36]

Another chalky test.Would rather they bump it to six with a better price.

LAA Jared Weaver Total Ks Over 5.5 @ -150
