Michael McGreevy (NA) Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-167)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Cardinals host the Diamondbacks, all eyes will be on Michael McGreevy, but taking the 'Under 3.5' on his strikeouts could be the savvy play here. Sure, McGreevy has shown flashes of brilliance, but recent trends tell another story. The Diamondbacks have turned into a formidable offense, ranking among the top in the league in contact rate and swinging less at pitches outside the zone. This disciplined approach has made life tough for opposing pitchers, and McGreevy, a young arm still finding his footing, may struggle to rack up strikeouts against such a patient lineup.
Furthermore, with the Cardinals' bullpen being heavily relied upon, McGreevy may not see a long outing, limiting his strikeout potential even further. Given his recent strikeout averages and the way the Diamondbacks have been hitting, expect him to stay under that 3.5 threshold tonight.
