Best MLB Strikeout Props Today: Pitcher K Props (4/25/2025)

Andrew Abbott - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Kipp's best MLB strikeout props today (4/25/2025). Bet his MLB strikeout props (K props) for pitcher strikeouts thrown. Win money betting on strikeout props.

There is quite a bit to like on the mound today. There are also several pitchers you would not expect to gather strikeouts who have terrific matchups. This early in the season, we are still dealing with a smaller sample size; however, we can start to feel increasingly confident in our selections as we move forward.

The process behind these pitcher strikeout props focuses on several factors, including recent games, head-to-head matchups, park factor, and weather conditions. It is also worth considering each player's hit rate on the assigned number, taking betting odds into account. You don't want to lay too much juice on strikeout prop bets.

In this article, I'll provide my top MLB strikeout props today for the MLB slate on Friday, April 25, 2025. Odds are courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook or FanDuel Sportsbook, but it's a good idea to shop around for the best odds on MLB player props.

MLB Strikeout Props - Today's Best K Props

Here are the starting pitchers I'll cover for Friday, April 25:

 

Logan Gilbert OVER 8.5 strikeouts (+110 DraftKings Sportsbook)

We are going back to Logan Gilbert again this week, as he did not let us down against the Toronto Blue Jays last week. Tonight, Gilbert has his prop set to 8.5 +110, and this is for good reason against the Marlins.

In April, the Marlins are posting a 25 percent K rate vs. right-handed pitchers, which ranks them fifth-worst in the league. They are also posting a sub-100 wRC+ mark over that same span.

Meanwhile, Gilbert has struck out at least seven batters in every single start this season. He has also managed to strike out nine or more batters in two of his five starts. This is a solid spot to take the plus money.

Carlos Carrasco UNDER 3.5 strikeouts (-140 DraftKings Sportsbook)

This is going to be a tough spot for the aging Carlos Carrasco. He will be at home in Yankee Stadium, which has not been his home for long. He will also be up against a difficult Blue Jays lineup.

Thus far in April, the Blue Jays have posted a K rate of just 18.5 percent against right-handed pitchers, which ranks third-best in all of baseball. While their wRC+ mark of 75 is nothing to gawk at, that K rate is super low for a guy like Carrasco to have much success.

Carrasco has made five starts this season and has failed to eclipse this total in three of those starts. He has also allowed three or more earned runs in four of those five starts and has been unable to go any deeper than 5 1/3 innings pitched.

Andrew Abbott OVER 5.5 strikeouts (-120 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Andrew Abbott has been one of my favorite guys to target thus far in 2025 through two starts, as his K prop seems to be a bit low in every start. Tonight, against the Rockies, Abbott is set relatively low at 5.5 once again.

Abbott has struck out at least six batters in just one of his two starts. However, he is coming off an 11-strikeout performance in his last start against Baltimore.

Tonight, he will be facing the Colorado Rockies, who are posting a K rate of 28.1 percent against left-handers in April, which ranks fifth-worst in the league. They are also posting a 67 wRC+ mark, which ranks them fourth-worst in the league.

Quite honestly, the matchup does not get much better aside from the fact that the game will be played in Coors Field. I am willing to take another shot with Abbott.

Luis Severino OVER 5.5 strikeouts (+105 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Luis Severino has a solid matchup tonight against the Chicago White Sox. In April, Chicago is posting a 25.3 percent K rate against right-handers, which ranks them fourth-worst in the league. Additionally, they are posting a 72 wRC+ mark.

Severino has managed to strike out at least six batters in three of his five starts this season, which is good news for the 5.5 number we are looking at tonight. He has also struck out six batters in two of his three home starts, and he will be pitching at his home park, Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, tonight.

Severino's K percentage is just 17 percent on the season, but we are counting on the free-swinging Sox to chase some bad pitches and be undisciplined at the plate.

Pablo Lopez OVER 6.5 strikeouts (-105 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Pablo Lopez has not pitched since April 8, but he looked pretty sharp in his first three starts of the season, striking out at least five batters in each of his previous two starts.

Tonight, he will be facing the Los Angeles Angels, who provide a solid matchup for right-handed pitchers. The Angels are posting a K rate of 26.8 percent this month. This is high enough to rank them second-worst in the league.

The one drawback here is that the Angels are also posting a wRC+ mark of 111 against right-handers in April, so they are capable of doing some damage. Lopez should be able to get six, though, as he is pitching at home, where he has posted a 10.4 K/9 since 2023.

Jose Berrios UNDER 4.5 strikeouts (+120 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Lastly, we are going to take a shot on the under 4.5 strikeouts for Jose Berrios tonight at plus money. Berrios has failed to strike out five or more batters in two of his previous three starts and has a tough matchup against the Yankees tonight.

While the Yankees are posting a 25.5 percent K rate vs. righties in April, they are also posting a strong 121 wRC+ mark. This looks like a game where Berrios could get roughed up a bit, which is why I like the value on his under. If the Yankees can run him early, it increases our chances of him going under his number.

If we look at his history against this divisional foe, Berrios has also posted a 5.10 career ERA against the Yankees.

Nathan Eovaldi OVER 5.5 strikeouts (-105 DraftKings Sportsbook)

The veteran right-hander has gone for six or more strikeouts in three of his five starts while compiling a strong 26.3 percent K percentage and 14.3 SwStr percentage. The two times he went under were in tough matchups against the Cubs and Mariners, but Eovaldi was impressive in his latest outing, racking up seven strikeouts against a strong Dodgers lineup.

Tonight, he faces the Giants, who rank 11th in MLB with a 22 percent strikeout rate, which is right about league average. We are counting on Eovaldi having his best stuff tonight and throwing strikes early, but he has a long leash and has been allowed to throw 87 or more pitches in every start, so he can pitch deep enough into this game to get across the finish line and get us those six strikeouts.

Good luck if you're tailing any or all of these picks, and thanks for reading!
