Top MLB Strikeout Prop Pitchers - July 22
Carlos Rodon: Under 7.5 -165
Although it has not been an easy stretch for New York Yankees starter Carlos Rodon, the leftie is still known to rack up the K's. Rodon, a former Cy Young contender, is winless with an 8.35 ERA in his last four starts. However, despite allowing 17 earned runs in 19.1 innings, Rodon has struck out 28 over that period.
Bailey Ober: Under 5.5 -125
Bailey Ober's last start against the White Sox on July 10 marked the first time that the Minnesota Twins starter surrendered more than a pair of earned runs in over a month. Now 8-5 with a 4.14 ERA on the season, Ober's 100 innings on the mound have come with 106 strikeouts. Tonight, the 29 year-old will face the visiting Phillies.

Hunter Greene: Over 6.5 -120
In his final start before the All-Star break, Reds pitcher Hunter Greene struck out a career-high ten members of the Colorado Rockies in six innings. Now 6-4 with a 3.34 ERA on the season, Greene has gotten his HR/9 figure down to 0.8 from 1.5 last season. Additionally, the 126 strikeouts already logged by Greene put the 24 year-old on pace to set a career-high in the category.

Spencer Arrighetti: Over 5.5 -150
Rookie Astros pitcher Spencer Arrighetti is set to make his eighteenth start of the season on Monday against the Oakland Athletics. Now 4-7, early-season issues have saddled the 24 year-old Arrighetti with a 5.63 on the season. However, in his past two starts, Arrighetti has allowed just three earned runs in eleven innings, racking up thirteen strikeouts in that span.
"Spencer Arrighetti's 6th, 7th and 8th Ks. New career high." - Pitching Ninja
Blake Snell: Under 6.5 -130
When Blake Snell returned from the IL earlier this month, the reigning NL Cy Young winner was 0-3 with an ERA over 9.00. Although Snell is still looking for his first win of the season, the past two starts have been much more heartening for the Giants.
Snell has not allowed a run past twelve innings and has logged some eleven strikeouts during that time. With his ERA now lowered to 6.31, Snell will be his team's selection as they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday.
