Alex Kolodziej’s Giants vs Nationals Preview
San Francisco Giants Player Prop
Our Action PRO Model projects Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp for 3.7 strikeouts in Friday’s game against the Nationals, providing around a 10% edge over the current market price (4.5, juiced to the under).
Roupp excels at limiting hard contact but lacks elite swing-and-miss stuff, mainly because he relies on a low-velo fastball and a slightly-above-average curveball.
The Nationals aren’t easy to strike out, as they boast the 11th-lowest strikeout rate among MLB lineups (21.4%), a mark that decreases slightly against right-handed pitchers (20.4%).
Nationals Park ranks 19th among all MLB parks in Statcast’s Strikeout Factor (98), as it tends to play more like a hitter’s park than not (103 Park Factor overall, seventh).
Pick: Landen Roupp Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135, BetMGM)
