Gerrit Cole Over 6.5 Pitcher Strikeouts
Despite just five strikeouts per game in each of his last two outings, Gerrit Cole’s line of 6.5 on Sunday against Colorado is simply too low. Sure, the game is at Coors, but that has little to no effect on a batter’s ability to make contact with a pitch that is coming in from one of baseball’s best.
The Rockies rank 24th in the MLB in team strikeout rate (24.3%) while they sit in the basement of the NL West at 35-58. Additionally, out of the eight current Rockies that have faced Cole in their careers, the collective batting average is a measly .184 with 34 combined punchouts.
Through the first half of the campaign, Gerrit Cole is on pace towards another Cy Young-caliber season, as he holds a 9-2 record with a 2.85 ERA and 123:34 K:BB ratio. He is currently ranked 13th in the MLB in strikeouts, and he should be able to easily add to that total against Colorado on Sunday afternoon.

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.
