Cole Ragans Player Prop Prediction, Projection
Ragans has pitched sparingly for the Royals this season while spending most of the season in Triple-A.
Ragans started the season as a relief pitcher for the Royals and made his first start as a starter on July 15. He pitched five innings, giving up four hits and one earned run.
The prognostication doesn't expect Ragans to pitch many innings tonight.
BetMGM has set his strikeout total at 3.5 with -150 juice to the over, while the under sits at +115. That's the best price on the under in the market.
The model predicts Ragans will have 1.6 strikeouts tonight, good enough for a massive 40% betting edge.
Do keep in mind that these algorithms work best when you wager with the same size unit for each individual bet.
Pick: Cole Ragans Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+115)
