Mitch Keller Over 6.5 Strikeouts

What a breakout season for the Pirates’ 27-year-old righty it has been. His progression started to shine through towards the back half of last season, but Keller has taken it to another level through his first 11 starts in 2023. He’s coming off a bit of a clunker against Seattle but still has a 3.06 xFIP, ranks in the top 81% in xERA/xwOBA, 93% in hard hit%, 87% in K%, and 81% in BB%. He also has a 30.9% CSW% which is 22nd best among all pitchers.

Today he’ll be in the pitching-friendly confines of Oracle Park, and the Giants have been one of the more strikeout-prone teams against right-handed pitching this season. They have the third highest K% (25.3%) against righties, and that rate has steadily remained over the last 14 and 30 days. With that being said, Keller didn’t really need the matchup help considering he has been a strikeout machine all season. He has racked up eight or more punchouts in six consecutive starts and has gone over this line in nine of 11 overall. I see no reason why his K ways will stop today, so take the over here.

At BettingPros, we’ve compiled several projection sources to come up with 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.
