As MLB Friday approaches with a full slate of games, we’re taking full advantage of our accurate PRO Projections.
After PJ Walsh covered the top home run edge in the early game, our proprietary projections are exceptionally fond of three strikeout props picks tonight.
By comparing our expert projections, driven by exclusive data, against the current betting odds, we can pinpoint the best strikeout props available.
These picks are determined by how much our numbers diverge, either closely or substantially, from the mainstream betting markets.
Tonight’s spotlight games include compelling matchups such as the Cardinals facing off against the Mets, the Nationals going head-to-head with the Rockies, and the Padres clashing with the Astros.
Without further ado, let’s transition into the highly anticipated three picks that stand out based on our data.
MLB Props Today: Strikeout Picks for 4/18
Kicking off our list is Miles Mikolas from the Cardinals, where we’re eyeing the under 3.5 strikeouts against the Mets at +100 odds with BetMGM. Our projections have the veteran right-hander pegged for only 3.22 strikeouts. Mikolas finds himself in the bottom 20th percentile when it comes to opponent chase rate, strikeout rate, and whiff rate this season, according to Statcast. This makes him our top MLB props pick for the night, with a tempting +9.8% edge.
PRO Props Edge: Miles Mikolas Under 3.5 Strikeouts
Next, we’re focusing on Rockies pitcher Chase Dollander, looking at under 4.5 strikeouts against the Nationals. Playing at Coors Field, notoriously known as the worst ballpark for pitchers, we project him for just 4.23 strikeouts, giving us a solid +7.2% edge on this MLB props bet.

Finally, rounding out our trio of selections is Kyle Hart of the Padres as he faces the Astros. We’re backing him to go under 3.5 strikeouts at -110 with MGM. Our projections indicate a modest 3.25 strikeouts for Hart. The southpaw isn’t known to boast a high strikeout ceiling – he’s had starts posting games of 4, 0, and 4 Ks, and was chased out of the first inning in one game.
Hart under 3.5 marks the third best MLB props pick for tonight for PRO Projections.
