As betting becomes increasingly ubiquitous, we've witnessed an ever-growing interest in player props, which are perceived as somewhat softer markets due to specialization and accessibility issues. When I started polling the audience for what data they'd like to see or had trouble scraping, pitcher props were easily the most popular answer.
I placed all of today's probable starters' 2025 strikeout and swinging strike rates next to their opponent, plus where that offense ranks against that handed pitcher in Ks over their last month of play. Then we'll pair our favorite picks for a pitching parlay.
TODAY'S PROBABLE STARTERS + OPPONENTS vs LHP/RHP:
LAGHEZZA'S LEAN:
Yesterday's over K parlay fell flat — when Skubal's completing 7ip but not hitting 7Ks, you know you're running cold. Nice chance to get it back today (plus some) with a low expectation strikeout parlay.
Today's Action: THREE LEG STRIKEOUT PARLAY (+163) on Draftkings
Gavin Williams +5K, Colton Gordon +4K, and Charlie Morton +4K
