Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The under 5.5 strikeouts bet for Jacob deGrom is backed by his recent performance data. Over the last five games, deGrom's overall average strikeouts (SO) per game is 5, which is below the line set at 5.5. In addition, his average innings pitched (IP) per game is also 5, indicating he is typically not in the game long enough to achieve a higher strikeout count. His performance away from home is similar, with an average of 5.8 SO and 4.2 IP over the last five away games. This means he's striking out slightly more batters per game when playing away, but still falls under the 5.5 line. Furthermore, his current hit streak is zero, suggesting a lower likelihood of a sudden increase in strikeouts. Therefore, the under 5.5 strikeouts bet for deGrom appears to be a statistically sound choice.
