As it pertains to MLB on MKF, I like to start with pitcher strikeout totals and give a breakdown of my rationale on those. Next, I will often offer up some options to pair with the pitcher totals in case you want to dive into some 3/3, 4/4, or 5/5 type of contests. Thursday, September 10th presents a slate of 12 games. A couple of the games we can look to take advantage of include the Orioles at Yankees and Royals at Indians.

Orioles @ Yankees: More or Less Contest
More or Less Contest - Gerrit Cole more than 8.5 strikeouts and Keegan Akin more than 3.5 strikeouts
Cole has struggled this season, but one area he has not struggled in is strikeouts. He has posted 70 K through his first 52 IP and has struck out at least eight in five of his last six starts, including his most recent start where he struck out 10 Orioles. The Orioles are currently striking out 22% vs. right-handers over the previous two weeks and are not walking (6.4%), so Cole should hopefully be able to have a solid performance here.
Keegan Akin has come on strong in his last two starts as he has struck out 14 across his last 11 IP. He was also a strong performer in the minors as he finished 2019 with 131 K in just over 112 IP. The Yankees just faced him on 9/5 and went down on strikes a total of eight times. They are also striking out at a rate of 22.9% vs. left-handers over the previous two weeks, which is 11th-worst in baseball.

Royals @ Indians: More or Less Contest
More or Less Contest - Aaron Civale more than 5.5 strikeouts and Brady Singer more than 3.5 strikeouts
Civale has been solid this season and should continue to have success against the Royals tonight. Over the previous two weeks, the Royals have posted a 24.9% K rate vs. right-handers, which ranks eighth-worst in the league. They have also struggled to score vs. righties as noted by their 78 wRC+ over that same span. Civale has struck out at least six batters in five of his eight starts this season, which is another reason I like the more than here.
Brady Singer has also reached his total in five of his eight starts, including his first start of the season vs. these Indians in which he struck out seven batters. The Indians have also been struggling a bit over the previous two weeks as they have posted a K rate of 22.2% and only walking at a rate of 8.3% vs. right-handers, both of which are worse than their season totals.
More or Less Contest - Francisco Lindor more than 1.5 total bases
Francisco Lindor more than 1.5 total bases -Lindor has started to heat up as of late as he has hit .341 with a .965 OPS over the previous two weeks. He has also gone over this total in three of his previous four games and is posting an .824 OPS at home this season.
