Max Scherzer O/U 7.5 Strikeouts | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

Max Scherzer has a 32.7% strikeout rate and .192 average against since his return, and his strikeout prop has +116 odds on the over against the formidable Atlanta Braves. Scherzer is averaging roughly 6.1 innings per start and 1.25 strikeouts earned per inning, pacing him for 7.96 strikeouts. Though the Braves have a collective .247 batting average and .751 OPS against right-handed pitching this season, they strike out at a 24.8% clip, the third highest among MLB teams. With all nine hitters striking out against right-handed pitching above 20% of the time, the chance for Scherzer to strike out eight or more is promising. Atlanta is much better than Cincinnati, against whom Scherzer struck out 11 in his return from an oblique injury last start, but if anyone can get to eight strikeouts, it is Scherzer in a divisional matchup.

Best MLB Betting Pick Today: Max Scherzer OVER 7.5 Total Strikeouts (+116)

He gets Michael Pineda, who is allowing 45.3% hard contact, a .226 average and 1.56 home runs per nine against right-handed hitting. Though Pineda has fared slightly better against right-handed hitters this season, for his career he has allowed 1.38 HR/9 and a 13.7% HR/FB rate to righties. The weather in Kansas City is going to be above 93 degrees with 43% humidity today, leading to more balls leaving the park should any command slip. As such, Whitt’s odds at 3-1 to get to a susceptible pitcher make for a worthy dabble to start the week.
