- Bovada projects lefty aces Tarik Skubal (-145) and Garrett Crochet (-150) will go under their 8.5-strikeout line for Tuesday’s MLB action.
- Framber Valdez has +100 odds to go over 6.5 strikeouts in a battle against the Philadelphia Phillies, where opposing pitcher Ranger Suarez projects for 4.5 strikeouts.
- There are -110 odds for New York Yankees starter Carlos Rodon to clear his 6.5-strikeout line against the Cincinnati Reds.
DETROIT – The MLB betting slate for Tuesday features five left-handed pitchers with high strikeout projections. Tuesday’s legal sports betting action begins in Detroit with reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal’s line set at 8.5 strikeouts against the Athletics.
Tarik Skubal Strikeouts Prop
- Over 8.5 Strikeouts +110
- Under 8.5 Strikeouts -145
Skubal went under 8.5 strikeouts in five of his last six outings, including four consecutive unders. Still, two of three Cleveland Guardians starting pitchers struck out 10+ Athletic batters in their series just days ago, so take the +110 odds for Skubal to have similar success against a strikeout-plagued Athletics lineup.
Back Carlos Rodon Over Strikeouts Vs Cincinnati
Yankees starter Carlos Rodon projects for 6.5 strikeouts in a favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds have six players with more strikeouts than games played, including top of the order guys like Elly De La Cruz (87 SO) and Matt McClain (79 SO).
Carlos Rodon Strikeouts Prop
- Over 6.5 Strikeouts -110
- Under 6.5 Strikeouts -120
Rodon went over 6.5 strikeouts (-110) in four of his last six games and 68.8% of starts this season. In 2025 he’s averaging 11.7 strikeouts per nine innings (K/9) on the road compared to 9.9 K/9 at home, so the road trip to Cincinnati actually improves his strikeout chances.
Bet On Strikeouts In Duel Between Valdez And Suarez
Framber Valdez (6.5 strikeouts) and Ranger Suarez (4.5 strikeouts) duel in Houston with favorable strikeout projections. Valdez has +100 odds at legal Texas sports betting apps to have 7 or more strikeouts against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Framber Valdez Strikeouts Prop
- Over 6.5 Strikeouts +100
- Under 6.5 Strikeouts -130
Valdez crushed this line in two of his last three starts, posting games with 12 and 11 strikeouts in that stretch. Meanwhile, Phillies starter Ranger Suarez has -160 odds to go over 4.5 strikeouts against the Astros lineup.
Ranger Suárez Strikeouts Prop
- Over 4.5 Strikeouts -160
- Under 4.5 Strikeouts +120
This line is low considering Suarez had 5+ strikeouts in eight of nine starts this season, but that explains why there are -160 odds favoring the over. Houston strikes out at the sixth-lowest rate in the MLB this season at 7.77 times per game, so this over won’t be a walk in the park for favored odds.
Bet Red Sox Ace Garrett Crochet To Light Up The Night
Garrett Crochet’s 8.5-strikeout line at Bovada implies the MLB strikeout leader will have another big performance on Tuesday night. Crochet gets a favorable matchup against the Los Angeles Angels, who strike out the second-most in the MLB at 9.78 times per game.
Garrett Crochet Strikeouts Prop
- Over 8.5 Strikeouts +115
- Under 8.5 Strikeouts -150
Despite this, CA sportsbook apps favor Crochet to go under 8.5 strikeouts at -150 odds. He averages 9.4 strikeouts per game across his last five starts and certainly has the stuff to post double-digit strikeouts for a fourth time on Tuesday night.
