Alex Kolodziej’s Giants vs Nationals Preview
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”San Francisco Giants Player Prop” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/sf.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/san-francisco-giants” link1follow=”false”][/subheader]
Our Action PRO Model projects Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp for 3.7 strikeouts in Friday’s game against the Nationals, providing around a 10% edge over the current market price (4.5, juiced to the under).
Roupp excels at limiting hard contact but lacks elite swing-and-miss stuff, mainly because he relies on a low-velo fastball and a slightly-above-average curveball.
The Nationals aren’t easy to strike out, as they boast the 11th-lowest strikeout rate among MLB lineups (21.4%), a mark that decreases slightly against right-handed pitchers (20.4%).
Nationals Park ranks 19th among all MLB parks in Statcast’s Strikeout Factor (98), as it tends to play more like a hitter’s park than not (103 Park Factor overall, seventh).
Pick: Landen Roupp Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135, BetMGM)
