Clarke Schmidt (NYY) Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-385)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Clarke Schmidt for Over 3.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is driven by his consistent performance, particularly at home. His last five overall outings show an average of 5.6 strikeouts per game, which is well above the proposed line of 3.5. Even when focusing on his home performance, his strikeout average remains solid at 5. This indicates a strong likelihood of Schmidt achieving more than 3.5 strikeouts. Furthermore, Schmidt's average innings pitched (IP) both at home and overall are above 4, providing ample opportunities for strikeouts. Despite a lack of past data against the Mets, Schmidt's current form, especially at home, substantiates the bet. His home hit streak of 2 also suggests a good rhythm, further supporting this choice.
