Prime-Time Props — Thursday Night Football, Week 1
Prop God
Each day, we will try and highlight or outline our favorite prop bets of the day over at FTN Network. All bets are using the DK Sportsbook unless otherwise noted.
Brady Singer, Kansas City Royals
Over 4.5 strikeouts (-124, DraftKings Sportsbook)
Following a significant repertoire change where Brady Singer has relied less on his fastball and more on that delightful slider, the righty has logged some serious numbers over his last four outings, spanning 24.2 innings, Singer has whiffed 23 with a 3.04 FIP and only one home run allowed. And recently, the Twins offense has gone ice cold — over the last 30 days, they have logged only a .307 wOBA with a 23.2% strikeout rate.
St. Louis Cardinals-Cincinnati Reds
Under 8.0 runs (-115, FanDuel Sportsbook)
Look, this isn’t meant to imply that right-hander Miles Mikolas, who takes the ball for the Birds, is any good. He isn’t. But Luis Castillo for the Reds is, and these offenses are, in a word, meh. Over the last month, they have struggled to middling .321 and .316 wOBAs, respectively — and with a humidor installed this offseason, Busch Stadium has turned into a pitcher’s paradise. This season, the Cardinals home digs rank third worst in park factor and second worst in home run factor. Offense will be tough to come by.
