Kodai Senga Over 6 Strikeouts

The Ghost Fork King has arrived. Kodai Senga’s patented pitch has stymied batters early on, likely because they’ve never seen something like it before. It’s most similar to a splitter, but has some unique characteristics. He has struggled to locate at times, but he’s accumulated plenty of strikeouts along the way.

Senga ranks in the top 82% in K% and has had eight, six, and seven punchouts in his first three starts. Now, he faces a Giants team that has the worst O-Contact%, which translates to them having the highest strikeout rate (27%) against right-handed pitching. That Ghost Fork will undoubtedly have these San Francisco hitters chasing, so the strikeouts should continue coming Senga’s way tonight.

At BettingPros, we’ve compiled several projection sources to develop consensus projections. We then compared these projections to the prop bet odds from the sportsbooks to give you the best prop bet picks.

What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport,such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands. Examples of basketball player prop bets include over/under bets on points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, blocks, or steals.
