Toronto Blue Jays vs Cincinnati Reds: Max Scherzer Under 5.5 Pitcher - Strikeouts (-133)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Max Scherzer has been struggling lately with his strikeouts, averaging less than one strikeout per game over his last three outings. The Toronto Blue Jays have not been in great form, winning only one of their last six games and losing three straight on the road. This could make it tougher for Scherzer to rack up the strikeouts against the Cincinnati Reds.
The Reds play in a park where home runs leave more often, and with the wind blowing out toward the outfield tonight, hitters might connect better. With the way Scherzer has been pitching and the overall hitting conditions, it seems like a good idea to bet on him getting under 5.5 strikeouts. Just keep in mind that if he finds his rhythm, he could surprise everyone.
