Strikeout Kings — K Prop Data Drop, 6/7

As betting becomes more and more ubiquitous, we've witnessed an ever-growing interest in player props, perceived as somewhat softer markets due to access and specialization. When I started polling the audience for what 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. Then we'll pair our favorite picks for a pitching parlay.

LAGHEZZA'S LEANS:

From a glance, I'm expecting big strikeout games from Garrett Crochet, Ryan Weathers, Ranger Suarez, and Clay Holmes. On the flipside, using this same KISS method would suggest unders on Chris Paddack, Nick Martinez, Jose Quintana, and Carson Palmquist.

(+868) OVER STRIKEOUT PARLAY 

Ryan Weathers, Ranger Suarez, and Clay Holmes All Over 6K -- (Crochet was too pricey)

(+1587) UNDER STRIKEOUT PARLAY

Chris Paddack, Nick Martinez, Jose Quintana, and Carson Palmquist All Under 4K
