Best Opening Day Strikeout Prop Bets
Zach Eflin (TB) Under 5.5 Strikeouts
Zach Eflin is a very capable strikeout pitcher, and we are fading him for one singular reason: the Rays are one of the most analytically savvy organizations, and they are known for keeping their starters’ pitch counts down on Opening Day. Not to mention, the Blue Jays lineup is littered with high-contact, disciplined hitters with low strikeout rates, so this is a tough matchup to accrue strikeouts in, regardless. With our expectation that Eflin goes just 65 pitches, it is very hard to rack up six strikeouts that take at least 18 pitches over what should be considered more of a tune-up than a true start.
