Kansas City Royals Player Prop
I tried to pick on this Padres team last night with a strikeout prop, and that proved to be a mistake, as Yoshinobu Yamamoto finished with just five strikeouts.
Michael Lorenzen is a pitcher with a much lower strikeout rate, as he has just a 19.5% strikeout rate on the season.
This matchup is brutal for strikeouts, as the projected Padres lineup has a combined strikeout rate of 18% against right-handed pitchers since the start of last season.
Pick: Michael Lorenzen Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-115, BetMGM)
