MLB Best Bets – Free (Wednesday 7/24)
Josh Gross
Each day at FTN, we will try to find some unique prop bets that we can play to gain an edge. Here are a few that stick out on tonight's slate.
Nathan Eovaldi Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-104, FanDuel)
While Tampa Bay has been better at the place recently, this is still a team with a 26% strikeout rate overall. And tonight’s starter for Boston, Nathan Eovaldi, has been one of the best hurlers in all of baseball. In the last month, he’s struck out 30 in 25.1 innings pitched, including a sub-3.00 ERA.
John Means Under 5.5 Strikeouts(-145, BetMGM)
Yes, betting the under is no fun. I get it. But this line seems really off. Since returning from injury, Means has recorded only two strikeouts each in his last two outings. And the Tigers? Over the last week, they’ve been the third-hardest team to strike out. Slam this puppy.
