Best Bet:<\/a> Gilbert over 5.5 Ks (-125)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #92285<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as he doesn’t suffer an early-inning blowup, Gilbert should be relied upon to cash this strikeout prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the start of July, Gilbert has gone over 5.5 Ks in seven of eight starts. The exception was a disastrous outing against the Red Sox in which he allowed seven runs on seven hits over 2.2 innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilbert has one of the lowest walk rates in the majors (4.7%, 94th percentile). That’s a good way to keep his pitch count in check and ensure he can work deep into games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also has the stuff to go right after guys, playing off his mid-90s fastball with three pitches that have a whiff rate of 33.3% or higher. For context, the league-average whiff rate is 25.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dodgers aren’t a plus matchup for strikeout props, but they aren’t a bad one, either. They rank 15th in MLB in K rate against right-handed pitchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Gilbert just so happens to have some strong numbers against the current L.A. lineup. He’s collected 15 Ks versus just 10 hits allowed in 54 plate appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Gilbert struck out six batters over 5.0 innings in his lone outing against the Dodgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Gilbert has gone over 5.5 Ks in 18 of 25 starts. He’s averaging 6.2 strikeouts per outing this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Parlay: Flaherty 7+ Ks, Freeman 1+ hits (+104)<\/a>:<\/strong> I’m a little hesitant to ride with Flaherty on his standard strikeout line, so I’m teasing it down a bit in a plus-money combo wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #92291<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flaherty is having a stellar season that includes a career-high 11.5 K\/9. He has seven or more strikeouts in all three starts since becoming a Dodger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mariners have the highest K rate in the majors, and Flaherty has already torched them in the past. Seattle’s current lineup has struck out 23 times in just 59 plate appearances against him (39.0% K rate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One hit from Freeman boosts this play up from -210 to its current price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #92292<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeman, who’s batting .313 against righties this year, has the platoon advantage over Gilbert. They’ve never gone head-to-head before, but one hit should be a reasonable ask for the eight-time all-star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, Freeman is 17-for-55 (.309) and has cashed this bet in 11 of 14 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
