We\u2019ve got a full Wednesday of baseball, let\u2019s try something a little different today!<\/p>\n
All starting pitcher props, with a bonus MLB Pick.<\/p>\n

Cam Schlittler Over 17.5 Outs Recorded (-168 DraftKings)<\/h2>\n
The young Yankee fireballer has moved himself firmly into the Cy Young conversation<\/a>. So firmly in fact that he\u2019s the betting favorite right now at +175 on DraftKings. He faces a Blue Jays team that is the toughest in the league to whiff with an 18.5% K%.<\/p>\n On the flip side, they also have the second lowest walk rate at 7.7%. This all plays into Schlittler\u2019s favor in terms of going deeper into the game, but not sure he needs all that much help. He\u2019s gone an average of exactly 6 IP per start and he carries a 30.1% K%, so he\u2019s getting there despite strikeouts ostensibly requiring extra pitches. What\u2019s more, he\u2019s trending longer as he\u2019s gone at 6 IP in 5 of his last 6 starts, and in the sixth start he came just one out short.<\/p>\n There\u2019s some BABIP risk as well as the chance the Yankees mediocre defense comes into play, but I\u2019ll roll with the ace.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n Our Current Best Offers<\/span><\/p>\n Channel debug: betting<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I unsuccessfully backed Hancock in his last start, but I went with the team F5. My mistake! He pitched great, his offense laid an egg. So let\u2019s take that out of the equation and just roll with the outs prop here too. It\u2019s a little trickier in that the White Sox do K a lot (24%) and also take their walks (10%). A lot of both is thanks to Munetaka Murakami<\/a>, which is Japanese for \u201cThree True Outcomes\u201d as he has a K% of 32.5%, a BB% or 18.2% while clubbing 17 homers. Colson Montgomery at 29.7%, 9.4% and 13 homers is not far behind. Fortunately for Hancock, he has the most pitcher friendly stadium behind him, so some of those bombs might turn into long flyouts.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Our Current Best Offers<\/span><\/p>\n Channel debug: betting<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m going on a hunch here, Aaron Nola is a super tricky pitcher to game out if you\u2019ve ever rostered him in Fantasy baseball. He can shove, or he can walk the world, or pitch de facto batting practice. He\u2019s coming off two sub 5 IP outings with 6 K\u2019s total, but the start before that he shut out the Marlins for 6 IP with 5 K\u2019s. The Reds are the fifth easiest team to strike out at 23.9%. It\u2019s a low bar and Nola has 16 K\u2019s in his three home starts, so I\u2019ll bank that he gets to his number.<\/p>\n<\/section>\nEmerson Hancock Over 17.5 Outs Recorded (-107 DraftKings)<\/h2>\n
