Featured MLB Prop Bets for 5/23
Here are some MLB props we are eyeing for today’s slate of games:
Paul Skenes Over 7.5 Strikeouts (+100)
Rookie sensation Paul Skenes is back in action, fresh off a dominating performance against the Cubs. In that game, he fanned 11 and did not allow a single hit.
Through his first two big league starts, Skenes has racked up an absurd 16.2 K’s/9 innings, punching out 18 batters in 10 impressive innings of work. Skenes averages 99.3 mph on his fastball and has generated an eye-popping 44% whiff rate with his heater.
San Francisco ranks toward the middle of the pack in team batting average, runs scored, and strikeouts, providing Skenes with another opportunity to showcase his elite swing-and-miss stuff.
While he will surely be on a tight pitch count again, we’ll gladly go back the over here and assume he will pitch into the middle innings.
Luis Castillo Over 17.5 Outs Recorded (-140)
The Mariners turn to Luis Castillo this afternoon as they look to take three of four in the Bronx. There are a few trends to like about Castillo in this matchup, which favor him pitching deep into the game.
First and foremost, Castillo is rolling at the moment. He has pitched 6+ innings in his last seven starts and allowed 2 runs or less in all of them.
Castillo has also pitched well against the Yankees, with a lifetime 2.84 ERA. In five career starts against the Bombers, he has averaged around 6.1 innings, good for 19 outs.
Castillo also owns an impressive .181 BAA in his career in day games.
Corey Seager 2+ Total Bases (-110)
Corey Seager and the Texas Rangers have had a rough go so far this week at Citizens Bank, and things won’t get any easier Thursday afternoon with Phillies ace Zack Wheeler on the bump.
That said, Seager is among the select few that owns impressive numbers against Wheeler, with a lifetime average of .357 against the stud righty.
After a slow start by his standards, Seager appears to be finding his groove, blasting a home run in each of the last three games.
Seager has also outpaced his career averages in day games with a lifetime OPS of .908.
Look for him to keep the power streak going against a pitcher he sees the ball well against.
