πŸ’ͺ Best MLB strikeout predictions today

Here's a breakdown of my best MLB strikeout prop predictions and expert picks today. Check out the rest of our MLB picks along with our guide on how to bet on MLB.

Zac Gallen Under 3.5 strikeouts (+130)

Gallen is not a pitcher you want to bet on anymore, as he is posting a career-high 5.35 ERA with a career-low 5.9 K/9. On that note, we're fading him today against the Twins, as he has posted a 17.2% strikeout rate against current Twins batters.

Minnesota has just a 15.5% strikeout rate over its last three games and has scored nine or more runs twice in that span, so there is a strong chance that Gallen won't even pitch into the sixth inning. The Diamondbacks right-hander has gone under this line in three of his last four games.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto Over 6.5 strikeouts (-149)

Yamamoto has been pretty much the polar opposite of Gallen. He has dominated the hitters he'll be facing today, posting a 33.3% strikeout rate against these Orioles batters, while Baltimore hitters have slashed .133 / .257 / .233 against the Dodgers right-hander. While the matchup itself screams Over on Yamamoto today, he has also been profitable in recent games overall.

He has recorded seven or more strikeouts in seven of his last 10 games, including a 10-strikeout performance on May 31 against the Phillies, who have a lower strikeout rate than Baltimore. Yamamoto also plays a key role in my best NRFI bets today.
