Best MLB pitcher strikeout prop bets for July 30

#5) Aaron Nola: Under 6.5 -165

Aaron Nola might not get to seven strikeouts (Imagn)

As his teammate Zack Wheeler learned yesterday, the New York Yankees offense is red-hot right now. Aaron Nola, who is not an overwhelming strikeout pitcher this year (24.1% K rate), might have an even tougher time racking up the strikeouts today so taking the under would be wise.

#4) Hunter Brown: Over 6.5 -115

Hunter Brown is expected to get a lot of strikeouts (Imagn)

Hunter Brown has struck out one of every four batters he has seen this season for the Houston Astros. With the soft-hitting Pittsburgh Pirates facing him today, the ace needs to face just 28 batters in the game to reach seven. The odds aren't overwhelming, but they do like Brown's chances.

#3) Gerrit Cole: Under 6.5 -160

Gerrit Cole might not have a great start (Imagn)

Gerrit Cole has been very underwhelming since coming back from injury, and he faces the Philadelphia Phillies offense today. He's striking out 24.5% of the batters he has faced, which makes it hard to envision seven strikeouts or more today.

---

#2) Robbie Ray: Under 6.5 -130

Robbie Ray had an excellent first start (Imagn)

Robbie Ray has one start under his belt this season, and he struck out almost half the batters he faced. The San Francisco Giants star is expected to come back down to earth, and the odds believe he will cap out at six strikeouts today versus Oakland.

#1) Tyler Glasnow: Over 5.5 -140

Tyler Glasnow should pass six strikeouts (Imagn)

Tyler Glasnow has been one of the best strikeout pitchers in baseball this season for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He's striking out 33% of the batters he's facing, so the over/under line at 5.5 seems a little low even though he is facing a talented offense in the San Diego Padres.
