Yesterday I tossed out two bets on a small slate and both of them just missed (Flaherty had 7 strikeouts while we needed 8, and the NRFI missed by a run when the Tigers opener Alex Faedo suddenly couldn’t throw a strike and walked four hitters in the first inning).

Today is a much better day for betting as we have a full slate of games and several good pitchers on the mound to target for strikeouts.

A reminder that you can still access the Strikeout Pro tool that I helped develop at Best Odds and get a free week of access by clicking HERE.

We have a few lopsided matchups today that I am going to target in a few different ways and the usual NRFIs and K props, too.

Let’s dive into it, or else this is going to get long because I have quite a few screenshots to share!

THE NRFIS (they aren’t dead, but they’ve been tougher lately)

Great odds here on one game, and not so much on the other. I will parlay them at .25 units to build in some upside.
