MLB Prop Bet of the Day

Freddy Peralta OVER 6.5 strikeouts at Arizona (-143, BetMGM)

If there’s a modern-day Bad News Bears, it’s Arizona. The Desert Snakes misplaced their rattlers, as they’ve emerged victorious only twice thus far over the entire month of June. Now 22 games below .500, they’re melting under the Sonoran’s thermometer-breaking sun. Sporting a 12.48 K/9, Peralta should have little difficulty racking the strikeouts. Though he’s fallen just short of the proposed threshold in back-to-back outings, he forced nine ‘Zona whiffs over 7.1 innings on June 4. His 67.0 contact rate and 30.6 called plus swinging strike percentage imply more brilliant performances are on the immediate horizon. Arizona ranks No. 16 in K% over the last month, but the D-Backs’ wretched .652 OPS versus RHP say the booming Brewer euphorically intoxicates backers yet again.
