MLB Picks for August 18: Baseball Best Bets, Predictions, Odds on DraftKings Sportsbook
Chicago Cubs at Baltimore Orioles
Adrian Sampson Over 3.5 Strikeouts (+100)
While I believe it's more than reasonable to recommend that Sampson isn't a strikeout pitcher — his 18.7% strikeout rate is in the 22nd percentile of qualified arms — this prop is extremely low. We don't need to make speculations regarding how most MLB starters are fit for striking out four rivals on some random day, as Sampson has outperformed four strikeouts in seven of the 10 appearances where he's worked no less than four innings this season. He's likewise posted a 25.4% strikeout rate across his last three trips, two times getting done with no less than six strikeouts. Once more, he's not Jacob deGrom, but rather he doesn't need to be...

Maybe Baltimore is out of nowhere posting a setup included slap hitters, all things considered. The Orioles are a group that is vulnerable to the strikeout. Truth be told, since the All-Star break, Baltimore sits with the fifth-most elevated swinging strike rate in baseball (12.5%), while the club's all's 34.4% pursue rate is great for the eighth-best grade in the association. At in addition to cash, I'm betting that Sampson can exploit a portion of these imperfections.
Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees
Initial 5: Yankees Over 2.5 Runs (+120)
The Yankees have been battling to score runs recently, yet the group must feel improved about itself following Josh Donaldson's stroll off huge homerun on Wednesday night. Besides, in any event, considering two or three weeks of fighting at the plate — and wounds to Giancarlo Stanton and Matt Carpenter — New York actually positions first in the American League in ISO (.194), wOBA (.332) and wRC+ (118) for the whole season. Of course, a setup that highlights Aaron Judge is very great at scoring runs, and with DJ LeMahieu expected back tonight, things ought to get much more strong.
There's additionally the question of resistance. On Thursday, the Yankees will get down to business with Jose Berrios, who is totally reeling right now. No certified starter has a higher ERA (5.61) or xERA (5.58) than Berrios, and the right-hander's measurements don't move less concerning contributing away from Rogers Center 2022. Berrios possesses a frightful 7.50 ERA out and about, as he's given up an eye-popping .404 rival wOBA and 2.50 homers per nine. His ERA across his last 11 trips is 6.97. His .499 expected slugging rate is in the last two percent of the association. He's surrendered a bigger number of barrels than Patrick Corbin. That's all there is to it?
Washington Nationals at San Diego Padres
Yu Darvish Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+100)
Another strikeout prop that simply appears to be excessively low. Darvish has forever been a world class choice with regards to creating fails to connect, and the veteran has been in fine structure the most recent couple of weeks. As a matter of fact, across Darvish's last nine beginnings, the right-hander has enlisted a huge 31.8% strikeout 먹튀검증 사이트 추천 rate. He's additionally surpassed this absolute in seven of those nine excursions, frequently dunking his toe into twofold digits. Obviously, the form of Darvish that was scarcely creating a 20% strikeout rate in mid-May is a distant memory.
The Nationals play a part in this bet, as well. While Washington reliably had one of the association's most reduced strikeout rates in the first-half of 2022, quite a bit of that had to do with the presence of Juan Soto and Josh Bell, who each as of now own a strikeout rate underneath 15%. In any case, however both will be in the structure tonight, they currently call San Diego home. It should some as nothing unexpected that the Nationals have seen their strikeout rate bounce since the exchange cutoff time, in any event, getting as high as 24.8% throughout the course of recent days.
