NFL Week 5 FTN Staff Bets
FTN Staff
Welcome to the prop bet tracker. As MLB season gets into high gear, another way to get in on the action is to analyze the day’s best prop bets – from strikeouts to home runs, first to five runs to total bases logged.
Each day, we will try to identify a few picks that are ready to explode in the prop market.
Sean Manaea Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+108, FanDuel)
This is spicy. Look, we took some burns this week with people missing on the hook – I get it. But Sean Manaea has been juicy as hell. He’s upped his velocity recently, and that’s been good – the dude has rocked a massive 25.3% strikeout rate so far this season. And, as much as we all want to love the Mariners, they stink offensively – and rock a 26.2% strikeout rate to boot. We project him for 7.1 strikeouts today, so it’s time to fly.
Adbert Alzolay Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-139, Unibet)
The Cardinals suck against righties – this isn’t like a cute hometown-bias thing, this is a “they are legit horrendous” thing. They rank third worst in team wOBA and wRCc+, and I will continue to bet against a team that stinks at the dish. Adbert Alzolay? Yea, he can cook. He will deliver that slider repeatedly, as it’s the pitch he throws most in his arsenal.
