MLB Pitcher Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks

MacKenzie Gore OVER 4.5 strikeouts (-150 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Gore will make his debut for Washington today after coming over in the Juan Soto deal. He will be up against the Braves, who struggled a bit vs. lefties in 2022 as they posted a top 10 K rate against them with a rate of 23.3%. Gore has the stuff to get to five strikeouts as well as he posted a 9.26 K/9 in 2022

Joe Ryan OVER 5.5 strikeouts (+125 DraftKings Sportsbook)

This is a bit dicier, but at +125 odds, it is worth the risk. Ryan had a tremendous season in 2022 in which he posted a 9.24 K/9. He also struck out at least six in 14 starts, including three of his four starts against the Royals. Kansas City is not known to be a high K rate team, however, they did post a rate north of 21% in 2022.

Jeffrey Springs OVER than 5.5 strikeouts (-130 DraftKings Sportsbook)

I am a big fan of Springs as he has a superb 2022 season in which he posted a 9.58 K/9. He managed to strike out at least six batters in 12 starts on the season. He will be up against a hapless Tigers team today that posted a 22.2% K rate against southpaws in 2022 while also posting just a 6.6% walk rate. Springs should not get into much trouble in this one and should be able to come away with six strikeouts in yet another start.

MLB Hitter Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks

Aaron Judge OVER 1.5 total bases (-120 DraftKings Sportsbook)

If you are feeling extra frisky, you could also look at Judge OVER 2.5 hits+runs+RBI at plus money as I expect him to have a solid day today against Ross Stripling. It is no secret that Stripling has reverse splits as he struggles much more against right-handed hitters, and that could be a big problem vs. this right-handed heavy Yankees' lineup. Over the previous two seasons, Stripling has allowed 24 home runs to righties while also allowing a .254 BAA. Judge has hit righties well also as he has posted a 1.027 OPS vs. right-handers since 2021.
