Miami Marlins vs Los Angeles Dodgers: Emmet Sheehan Under 5.5 Pitcher - Strikeouts (-159)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Betting on Emmet Sheehan to get under 5.5 strikeouts has solid backing, especially with the odds at -159. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been hitting really well lately, winning 8 of their last 10 games. They've shown they can handle left-handed pitchers, with a strong performance against them this year. That makes it tougher for Sheehan to rack up those strikeouts.
On the other hand, the Miami Marlins have struggled recently, averaging 0.7 runs behind in their last 12 games. They have only won 3 of those. Sheehan will face a lineup that doesn't strike out a lot against lefties. This matchup feels like a close call, and the Marlins might just make it hard for him to hit that strikeout number.
