Kodai Senga Player Prop Prediction, Projection
Senga has had a pretty solid season on the mound for the Mets this season.
Through 18 starts in 2023, the Japanese right-hander has a 7-5 record with a 3.27 ERA. He has had no problem striking guys out with an 11.36 K/9 this season. That is expected to change tonight.
BetMGM has set the total for over 5.5 strikeouts at -160, while the under is +125. That’s the best price on the under in the market.
The model predicts Senga will have exactly 5.5 strikeouts tonight, good enough for about a 9% betting edge.
Do keep in mind that these algorithms work best when you wager with the same size unit for each individual bet.
Pick: Kodai Senga Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125)
