MLB strikeout props for Fri. 7/5: We've got it made in the fade

July 4 was an off day for strikeout props, but we are coming off a 3-0 sweep on Wednesday to push our recent run to 16-8 in the last 24 picks. Let's keep it rolling and finish the week strong with another three-pack of K props for Friday's MLB slate.

Patrick Corbin over 3.5 Ks (+100 FanDuel )

Cardinals at Nationals, 6:45 p.m. ET

If you've been following our strikeout props this season, you'll be shocked to see this name with an over next to it. We consistently fade Corbin in K props because he's one of the worst starters at generating swings and misses, but he's found something over the last few weeks. Over his last three starts, the left-hander has recorded 17 strikeouts in 18.0 innings of work. He also has a 23.8 percent K rate against current St. Louis Cardinals batters in his career.

Kevin Gausman 8+ strikeouts (+134 FD )

Blue Jays at Mariners, 9:40 p.m. ET

We've been fading the Seattle Mariners in strikeout props all year, and we don't see any reason to stop now. The Mariners have the highest strikeout rate in MLB (28.1 percent), and they're only getting worse. Over the last week, Seattle is striking out 36.6 percent of the time against right-handed pitching. Gausman has two double-digit strikeout games this season, and this is the easiest matchup he's going to face all year.

Randy Vasquez under 3.5 Ks (-110 DraftKings )

Diamondbacks at Padres, 9:40 p.m. ET

Vasquez is one of our favorite starters in MLB to fade. The San Diego Padres right-hander ranks in the fifth percentile in strikeout rate (13.9 percent) and the seventh percentile in whiff rate (18.9 percent) this season, and he's gone under this line in eight of his 11 starts. The Arizona Diamondbacks have the fifth-lowest whiff rate in baseball, and they're striking out just 17.8 percent of the time against righties over the last 10 days.
