ASA Sports Betting MLB free bet – Player Prop

ASA play on: OVER 6.5 STRIKEOUTS: Luis Castillo โ€“ Seattle Mariners @ LA Angels, 9:30PM ET

This is one of the bigger strikeout numbers on the sports bettting board today, but every sports bettor will be playing Over 6.5 with Castillo. He has the 8th highest K/rate on the board today of all starts at 9.48 per 9/innings. Castillo has 105 strikeouts in 99.7 innings of work this season and has 6 or more Kโ€™s in 9 straight games, 7 or more in five straight. He is facing an Angels team that strikes out more than every other team in the Bigs at 9.57 per 9/innings. L.A. struggles against any type of pitchers but against right-handers theyโ€™ve struck out an average of 6.9 per 9/innings or once every 3.37 at bats. Overall, in their last 13 games the Angels are hitting just .216 as a team with 116 Kโ€™s in 436 at bats. Castillo averages 6.23 innings pitched per start and if he gets to that number today, he should easily have 8 or more Kโ€™s.

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.
