MLB Strikeout Props to Target Today — May 2
Three strikeout props stand out today based on recent form and current numbers. Here are the best betting angles on the board.
Michael King Over 5.5 Strikeouts
King has been steady recently and continues to pitch deep enough into games to give himself enough outs to clear this number. Over his last three starts, he has posted 8, 6, and 5 strikeouts, which works out to a 6.3 strikeout average.
Today’s line is 5.5, and six or more strikeouts is well within reach if he has normal command early.
Betting Lean: Over 5.5 Ks
Shota Imanaga Over 4.5 Strikeouts
Imanaga’s number is lower than the others, which creates value. His last three starts produced 6, 1, and 11 strikeouts, giving him a 6.0 strikeout average over that span.
The one low outing creates some volatility, but the overall average still sits well above today’s number. Reaching five strikeouts in five or six innings is a reasonable expectation.
Betting Lean: Over 4.5 Ks
Spencer Arrighetti Over 5.5 Strikeouts
Arrighetti brings the highest ceiling of the group. His last three starts show 8, 3, and 10 strikeouts, which gives him a 7.0 strikeout average.
He can pile up strikeouts quickly when his fastball command is sharp. If he limits walks, this line is beatable.
Betting Lean: Over 5.5 Ks
Conclusion
Michael King Over 5.5 Ks
Shota Imanaga Over 4.5 Ks
Spencer Arrighetti Over 5.5 Ks
