Sean Manaea has a 25.5% strikeout rate and .216 average against, leading to a 5.5 strikeouts prop on OddsShopper with +104 odds on the over. Manaea draws an inviting matchup in the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have a 24.4% strikeout rate and .216 batting average this season. Manaea is averaging just over six innings per start and 1.04 strikeouts per inning, pacing him for 6.3 strikeouts tonight. Arizona is one of the league’s weakest teams against left-handed pitching, with a .232 batting average, .676 OPS and 23.4% strikeout rate. Manaea has a career-high 13.3% swinging-strike rate this year, and he’s struck out at least six in 7 of 12 starts this year, including seven in his last matchup with Arizona to start the season.

Brieske has struggled against right-handed hitting, with a .279 average against, 6.06 FIP and 2.32 HR/9 this year. Bogaerts remains one of the Red Sox more effective bats against right-handed pitching, with a .847 OPS, .153 ISO and five of his six home runs this season against the split.

Taylor Trammell O/U 0.5 Total Bases
James Kaprielian has a 14.7% strikeout rate and 40.4% hard contact allowed this season, and he gets worse against lefties, to the tune of a .309 average against, 8.07 FIP and 2.84 HR/9. Taylor Trammell has proven his power, particularly against right-handed pitching, with a .245 ISO and 143 wRC+. Though the betting line intrigue is softened, the tradeoff in needing just one hit in a fitting matchup further incentivizes the diminished return on investment on Trammell.
