ASA MLB prediction White Sox vs. Tigers

ASA player prop: OVER 6.5 STRIKEOUTS Lance Lynn โ€“ Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers, 2PM ET

Lynn is a solid strikeout pitcher with the 7thย highest K/rate (9.35) per 9 innings on the board today and heโ€™s facing a Tigers team that isnโ€™t swinging well right now. Detroit is 22ndย in the Bigs in Kโ€™s per game at 8.71 and theyโ€™ve been especially bad against right-handed starters with 6.7 per game. The Tigers hit just .210 as a team against righties and have been worse yet in their last ten games hitting just .195 with an average of 8.7 Kโ€™s per game. Recently, the Tigers have 152 Kโ€™s in their last 14 games which is the most in baseball. In that 14-game stretch they are striking out once every 3.04 at bats. Yesterday the Tigers struck out eleven times against the White Sox staff. Lynn has 62 Kโ€™s on the season in 59.7 innings of work after throwing 176 Kโ€™s a season ago in 157 innings. He has 6 or more strikeouts in 4 of his last five games. Lynn faced this Detroit lineup in mid-June and had 4 strikeouts in 4 innings of work. We expect a longer outing here and with more than 1 K per inning.
