Sean Manaea Over 5.5 strikeouts: +110 (BetMGM)
The Giants have taken great steps on offense this year, but they still have plenty of strikeouts in their lineup; three players in the projected lineup are striking out over 30% this year. Sean Manaea is striking out 25% of hitters and only walking 6%. He also does not give up much power, with an xSLG of only .406. This will help him go deep enough in the game to get the six strikeouts necessary. He gets to face a pitcher today as well since the game takes place in San Francisco, and that makes this prop extremely juicy at plus odds.
Mike Minor Over 5.5 strikeouts: -118 (FanDuel)
This seems like a bad line in this spot. Other sportsbooks have over 6.5 strikeouts at basically the same odds. The Rangers strike out at a top-five clip, and Mike Minor has a robust 26% strike out rate. He also limits hard contact to the tune of 36.1% and only walks 7% of batters, letting him go deep in games. This is a no-brainer bet in this spot against the Rangers, who swing and miss at a high percentage.
Jesse Winker to hit home run: +310 (BetMGM)
This is a great spot for Jesse Winker to show off his power against a reverse-splits pitcher in Drew Smyly. Smyly gives up more fly balls and hard contact to lefties, and Winker has had an MVP-caliber season this year. He has a 12% barrel percentage, 52.4% hard hits and an xSLG of .565. This is a great spot for him to go deep against Smyly.
