Today's Top MLB Pitchers Strikeouts Prop Bets: 5 picks including Dylan Cease, Sean Manaea and more for September 1, 2024

With the last month of the season underway, it is a challenge for most starting pitchers to remain healthy. This makes placing strikeout prop bets genuinely interesting in the final stretch.

Here's a list of the top pitchers who have the best shot at making the most of their starts on September 1.

Dylan Cease: Over 7.5 -135

Dylan Cease would have wished for a better month of August as he ended up with a 4.43 ERA over his five starts. He has managed 11 strikeouts over this last two outings. He is up against the Tampa Bay Rays which he has a 1-2 record against, with a 5.40 ERA and 25 strikeouts. However, the Rays don't have the same offensive prowess at the plate as they once had.

Logan Webb: Under 6.5 -140

The Giants will start Logan Webb on the mound for their game against the Marlins. At home, he has a solid 2.26 ERA with a 7-3 record. Webb has 25 strikeouts over his last four starts and is expected to turn in a strong performance against a weak Miami lineup.

Aaron Nola: Over 5.5 -165

Aaron Nola went through August with a meager 2.70 ERA. In his last start against the Atlanta Braves, the Phillies ace was hit eight times with two walks and five strikeouts. Atlanta suffered a 3-0 shutout loss during Saturday's fixture and Philadelphia will look to keep that momentum on the mound with Nola as their starter.

Ryan Pepiot: Over 4.5 -165

The safest pick of the day would be Ryan Pepiot of the Tampa Bay Rays. The former Dodger has earned just seven runs in his last six starts. During that stretch, Pepiot has also managed 27 strikeouts. He will have a tough outing against a strong Padres lineup but a low strikeout prediction should be good enough for a bet.

Sean Manaea: Over 6.5 -110

All signs point toward Sean Manaea fanning a few more batters in his next outing against the Chicago White Sox. Manaea has 20 Ks from his last two starts. Moreover, he has shown he can be resilient on the mound, having pitched at least 6.2 innings in his last five outings.
