Today’s best MLB pitcher strikeout props: Fade Shohei Ohtani against Reds

The Great of New York can fill the sweep of Philadelphia Phils and reduce their deficit in four games in the east of the National League, when the opponents go out on Citi Field on Wednesday. Matt (71-61) won the first two series games, 13-3 and 6-5, and now they are divided into five games (76-56). After Wednesday, the teams will face four times four times in Philadelphia on September 8-11.

On Wednesday, Pitching Matchup presents Phillies Veteran Righty Taijuan Walker (4-6, 3.44 ERA), which takes over the Great Rooky Righty Nolan McLean (2-0, 1.46), who will start his third career League. Walker has entered well this month, going to 1-1 with a era of 2.28. Meanwhile, McLean has so far excelled in two major leagues’ results, giving up only two runs, while striking on the 12th place.

The Reds lefty is set to return from the 15-day IL for Wednesday’s start. Lodolo (8-6, 3.05) has not pitched since Aug. 4 while dealing with a blister on his left index finger. Prior to that last outing, he struck out 11 against this same Dodgers team while allowing just two runs in 5⅓ innings on July 29. That was the 13th time in 22 starts that he had gone Over 4.5 strikeouts. The SportsLine Projection Model also notes that Lodolo has gone Over his pitcher strikeouts line eight times over the last 10 games when Cincinnati was not favored, averaging 6.1 pitcher strikeouts per game.

On July 30 he faced the Reds and struck out four in three innings. He has gone Under his strikeouts total in six of his 10 starts this season, averaging 3.5 per game.
