Max Scherzer Over 7.5 Strikeouts

A big reason for the Mets’ lack of success this year stems from Scherzer, who was brought in to be one of their aces. A 3.98 xFIP is in no way ace-worthy, and he’s been a bit erratic from time to time. With that being said, Mad Max has turned it on, at least in the strikeout department, over his last six starts. Across this span, he has found eight or more strikeouts in five of the six outings.

Now, he draws one of the more favorable matchups out there, for starters. The Brewers have the 2nd worst K% (27.4%) and wRC+ (74) over the last month when facing right-handed pitching. Scherzer’s teammate, Kodai Senga, had eight punchouts against them in just five innings pitched yesterday. Max should manage to get there as well, especially considering his history against this roster. They have a combined 26.5% K% in 132 plate appearances against him.

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.
