Best MLB Bets and Picks Today

New York Yankees @ Houston Astros

Framber Valdez Over 4.5 K’s -145 (BetMGM)
Yankees +125 @ Astros -150 Total 7 (BetMGM)

Justin Verlander cashed our “over 5.5 K’s” bet Wednesday by striking out 11 Yankee hitters. We’re headed back to Minute Maid Park Thursday for another strikeout prop; this time, we’re betting Framber Valdez over 4.5 K’s at -145.

I’m going to keep this short as this number is moving quickly. Valdez’ 23.5% K rate ranks 20th in all of baseball. The lefty has gone over this number in 10 of his last 11 starts.

 

No team has struck out more than the Yankees in the playoffs. The Bronx Bombers have struck out 33% of the time this postseason, but most of those K’s have come against right-handed pitching. 

I’m projecting Valdez to pitch six innings and strike out the five batters we need to cash our K prop. Use FTN’s Prop Shop to grab the best number available. 

Bet: Framber Valdez Over 4.5 K’s -145
