All odds as of May 13th.

Prop #1: Patrick Corbin Under 5.5 Strikeouts

The first prop to target is under 5.5 strikeouts for Nats starter Patrick Corbin. Washington’s third starter has posted a K/9 rate of only 6.14 this season, which is by far the lowest of his career. He’s posted strikeout totals of 2, 4, and 3 in his past three starts, and has yet to eclipse 5 K’s in any of his six outings this season.

Corbin’s fastball velocity is down to 91.4 mph, and he’s inducing a swinging strike rate of only 9.3%, which is his lowest since his rookie season. The matchup is favorable against a Philly team that is prone to strikeouts, but even an easy matchup can’t solve Corbin’s current woes.

Pick: Patrick Corbin Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-128)

Prop #2: Jeimer Candelario 2+ Hits

The next prop to target is two or more hits for the Tigers Jeimer Candelario. Detroit’s third baseman leads the team in hits and average, and is absolutely crushing left-handed pitching this season. He’s batting .414 in 29 at-bats versus lefties this season, and has posted three separate 3-hit games in the month of May already.

As for the matchup, it couldn’t be better. KC will trot out southpaw Daniel Lynch who’s allowed 11 hits and 11 runs in his past 5.1 innings.

Pick: Jeimer Candelario 2+ Hits (+210)
