Gross Bombs: NFL Props for Week 16
Josh Gross
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.
Blake Snell Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-133, BetMGM)
Guys, Blake Snell is not good anymore. I mean, there are some positives here – he sports a greater than 30% strikeout rate on the season. That is good. He also sports a double-digit walk rate, and he gives up a ton of home runs, and is facing a very good offense. Do I think Snell will be amped up for this game? Yes. Do I think he could get rocked? Yes.
Chris Flexen Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-175, DraftKings)
Flexen has been absolutely absurd in his recent run of form. Over the last month, the right-hander has posted a 2.70 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 27 innings, striking out 20. And in his last outing? He tamed the mighty Minnesota offense for eight strikeouts in seven innings. I would see what kind of juice is available in an alternate line here, because these feels like a very solid bet.
