Today's Top Five MLB Pitchers Strikeouts Prop Bets

#5 Shota Imanaga - Over 4.5 Ks (‑150)

Shota Imanaga’s strikeout totals have been a bit of a roller coaster lately. But don’t be fooled by his last outing’s lone punchout. The Chicago Cubs star's overall command and deceptive fastball-splitter combo still make him a strong candidate for Ks.

With a 2.80 ERA and tidy 0.98 WHIP, Imanaga has regularly worked deep into games. Additionally, he will face a Yankees lineup that strikes out in bunches against lefties.

Expect a bounce-back performance where five or more strikeouts are well within reach.

#4 Jose Berrios - Over 4.5 Ks (‑155)

Jose Berrios has put together a solid season, and while he’s not an elite strikeout artist, his ability to work deep into games and consistently pick up punchouts makes him reliable for prop bettors.

With a 7.7 K/9 and 96 strikeouts over 112.1 innings, Berrios has cleared this 4.5 line in several matchups against contact-heavy teams.

Facing the Athletics, a lineup prone to chasing pitches off the plate, Berrios’ sharp breaking ball and deceptive fastball command give him a great shot to cruise past this number today.

#3 Logan Gilbert - Over 6.5 Ks (‑125)

Don’t let Logan Gilbert’s win-loss record fool you, he has quietly been one of the nastiest strikeout arms per inning in baseball.

Sporting a massive 12.8 K/9 rate and a crisp 1.01 WHIP, Gilbert’s ability to tunnel his high-ride fastball with a sharp breaking ball makes him lethal against aggressive lineups like the Tigers.

Despite a rough outing against the Yankees, he still punched out five. With his strikeout potential per inning, he’s a great bet to clear 6.5 Ks today.

#2 Nick Pivetta - Under 6.5 Ks (‑160) (Safest Pick)

Nick Pivetta has been quietly reliable this season with a strong 10.0 K/9, but his strikeout ceiling has been slightly capped in certain matchups.

Despite bagging seven in his last outing, today’s challenge comes against a disciplined Phillies lineup that ranks top five in contact rate against right-handed pitchers.

Pivetta’s strikeout totals have landed under this line in four of his last six starts, making the under 6.5 a sharp, value-backed option for today’s slate.

#1 Joe Cantillo - Over 5.5 Ks (+100) (Bold Prediction)

Joey Cantillo may be light on big-league innings this season, but his strikeout stuff has shown serious bite.

With an impressive 12.1 K/9 over 35.2 innings and a recent 7-strikeout effort against a tough Astros lineup, Cantillo’s swing-and-miss arsenal is legit.

Facing a White Sox offense that ranks near the bottom of the league in contact percentage and strikeout avoidance, this feels like a sneaky-high ceiling spot. Therefore, backing Cantillo to clear 5.5 Ks is a bold but worthwhile play today.
