Cincinnati Reds MLB Player Prop

I’m heading back to the well, as I almost always bet on Chase Burns when he’s on the mound.
This bet is straightforward: this is one of the best young strikeout pitchers in baseball against a team that strikes out more than any other team in baseball.
While the Rockies are much better this season, they’re still striking out at an insane rate (25.1%). Burns recently struck out eight against the Rays, a lineup that strikes out at the lowest rate in baseball (18.6%).
Pick: Chase Burns Over 6.5 Strikeouts
