Prop Model's Yankees vs Tigers Best Bet: Back Fried in Detroit
By Prop Model
Max Fried's strikeouts prop looks like a strong over wager based on the data. The line of 5.5 compares favorably based on our MLB simulations. This prop projects to hit 68.21% of the time based on the assumptions, and that represents a 9.53% edge. You can find all prop bet evaluations in ParlayIQ.
Pick: Max Fried Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-142)

Jim Turvey's Dodgers vs Nationals Best Bet: Fade Irvin
By Jim Turvey
Jake Irvin has a rather pedestrian 19.4% strikeout rate over his career — and that number is even lower this season.
His swinging strike rate is down, his velocity is down and his stuff is down. Now, he draws a Dodgers' lineup that is among the best in baseball and that, despite its power bats, has struck out at a rate below league average against right-handed pitchers.
Pick: Jake Irvin Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105)
