Best bet: Skenes over 6.5 strikeouts (-120)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #94733<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skenes has been one of the best pitchers in the majors this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rookie is boasting a ridiculous 2.10 ERA and 0.99 WHIP through 120 innings pitched this season. That includes a 12.0 K\/9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s pitched twice against St. Louis this season, throwing a total of 14.2 innings and giving up two runs. He worked at least six innings in both starts giving me confidence he can work late into the game tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that’s the case, Skenes should have no problem tallying up the Ks. Against this current Cardinals lineup, the 2023 No. 1 pick has a 30.2% K rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Skenes finished with eight strikeouts in each of his starts against St. Louis this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Imanaga over 6.5 strikeouts (-113):<\/strong> Another pitcher I don’t mind backing at a lofty total is Chicago Cubs’ ace Imanaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #94736<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s finished two of his last three starts with seven-plus Ks. Imanaga boasts a very respectable 8.93 K\/9 stat and has a prime matchup to be successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oakland strikes out the fourth most in the majors (9.26\/game) which includes a 26.5% K rate against left-handed pitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imanaga has pitched six or more innings in four straight starts, giving me confidence that he will get deep into tonight’s game providing more opportunity to record strikeouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marte over 0.5 runs (-127)<\/strong>: To close out the picks, I want to grab a Marte prop at Coors Field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #94735<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arizona Diamondbacks lead MLB in runs scored (5.5\/game) and Colorado provides the most hitter-friendly ballpark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marte also hits leadoff for Arizona, amplifying his opportunities to score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonio Senzatela makes his first start of the season for the Rockies. His stats even when healthy are concerning. In his last full season, Senzatela had a 5.07 ERA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marte is 11-for-31 (.355) off of Colorado’s starter while Christian Walker \u2014 who hits behind Marte \u2014 is 14-of-27 in his career vs. Senzatela (.519).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The D-backs’ lineup overall is hitting .318 off of the righty so if Marte gets on base, I’m expecting his teammates to drive him home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
