MLB Prop Bet of the Day

Chris Bassitt OVER 5.5 strikeouts at the New York Yankees (-110, BetMGM)

Eight straight losses. It’s embarrassing. It’s humiliating. It’s sad. Please, by all means, continue to #FadeTheNoise. Paul George’s failure to secure one more measly rebound extended this dimwit’s futility. In what will likely be a feeble attempt to right the ship, we return to the diamond, desperately seeking a winner. Bassitt, mercifully, will stop the bleeding. At a standard juice, he’s an attractive tourniquet. With a 3.98 ERA away, the righty has pitched decently on the road. Overall, he’s logged a 9.45 K/9, enticing a swing 10.4% of the time, on pace for a career best in the category. He’s also recorded at least six punchouts in a contest in nine of his last 11 starts. Amplifying the over lean, the Yankees rank No. 5 in highest K rate over the last month, slowly walking back to the dugout at a 26.0% clip. He’s invariably doomed, but the evidence overwhelmingly favors one side.
