Today's Top MLB Pitchers' Strikeouts Prop Bets: 5 Picks Including Hunter Greene, Paul Skenes and More for July 11th, 2024
Strikeouts are the ideal outcome of almost any at-bat in the MLB for a pitcher. If they strike the hitter out, it means they did their job and didn't need to involve any defensive player other than the catcher. They're one of the most prominent stats as well and the subject of a popular prop bet. Here are some of the best odds for July 11.
Best MLB strikeout prop bets July 11
5) Hunter Greene Over 7.5 -145
Hunter Greene has been great for the Cincinnati Reds, averaging just over 10 strikeouts per nine innings, so he's a good bet to have a quality outing today. His strikeout rate is high, so he will need to achieve eight strikeouts, but the odds favor him accomplishing this.
4) MacKenzie Gore Under 6.5 -140
One thing MacKenzie Gore has been able to do fairly consistently this season is get strikeouts, averaging 10.72 per nine innings. However, he doesn't often get a lot of innings. Of late, he's been particularly disappointing and might not last long enough to get to seven strikeouts.
3) Paul Skenes Over 7.5 -145
Paul Skenes has been a strikeout machine since coming up to the MLB level. The Pittsburgh Pirates ace is striking out almost 12 batters per nine innings, among the best marks in baseball. Despite having a high over/under today, he has more than favorable odds of hitting the over.
2) Kevin Gausman Under 6.5 -155
Kevin Gausman hasn't been as dominant this season. He is still averaging over one strikeout per inning but has struggled at times. Today, the Toronto Blue Jays star is not expected to reach seven strikeouts. The odds for that are strong.
1) Aaron Nola Under 6.5 -145
Aaron Nola is averaging less than one strikeout per inning. He's been good this year, but not at getting a lot of strikeouts. If he's to pass the seven mark that he needs to hit the over, the Philadelphia Phillies ace would likely need to pitch at least seven innings, which isn't likely.
