Getting a strikeout is always more satisfying than a pop-up or a flyball for pitchers. With the pitching clock in place, it can be challenging for pitchers to get a swing and a miss in every three counts. However, some pitchers have mastered the art of strikeouts as they never cease to amaze MLB fans.
Let's jump into the list of top pitchers that are predicted to get in the strike zone based on the top picks from DraftKings.
Best MLB strikeouts prop bets for August 24
#5 Tarik Skubal: Under 7.5 -135
Tarik Skubal is easily one of the best pitchers of the 2024 season. The Detroit Tigers have been fortunate to have a top-notch pitcher like Skubal who is having a Cy Young-caliber season.
Skubal has fanned 185 opponent hitters and going up against him is a nightmare. The Tigers can expect a decent number from Skubal against the White Sox.
#4 Michael King: Over 6.5 -120
Former Yankees pitcher Michael King is not new to baseball and his stint with the San Diego Padres seems to be getting better with each day. King has one of the best ERA's in the league (3.18). The talented pitcher will go up against the Mets today and is expected to increase his 167 strikeouts.
#3 Clayton Kershaw: Under 5.5 -140
The Dodgers veteran is not even close to retiring with his dominant performance. Despite his injuries, Kershaw has returned as a strong pitcher for the Boys in Blue. Kershaw has just started this season but has already recorded 19 Ks in 24 innings pitched. Watch out for the veteran to get some Ks against the Rays.
#2 Charlie Morton: Over 5.5 -155
Charlie Morton's 2024 season has not been too bad, but it hasn't been outstanding either. Morton's ERA is 4.29 but the pitcher recorded 127 Ks in 126 innings pitched. He will go up against the Nationals with an easy opportunity to improve his record.
#1 Ranger Suarez: Under 3.5 -135
The Phillies ace will return to the mound as they take on the Kansas City Royals. Ranger Suarez is an outstanding pitcher for his team with a strong 2.87 ERA. Suarez has 116Ks and is all set to fan some opponents today with the odds in his favor.
