Chicago White Sox Player Prop: Too Stiff A Test
White Sox starting pitcher Sean Burke has improved his strikeout numbers as the season has progressed, but Tuesday will be a stiff test for the young righty.
The Royals boast the lowest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching among MLB lineups (18.6%).
Conversely, many of Burke’s underlying metrics suggest his strikeout totals have been lucky.
He’s only averaged 10 swinging strikes across his past three starts, each of which saw him tally five strikeouts — that ratio is far from the standard. He hasn’t upped his velocity or Stuff+ metrics across those three outings.
Combine Burke’s overperformance with Kansas City’s contact-based lineup, and I like the Under on this strikeout prop.
