Jose Quintana (MIL) Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-128)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
Jose Quintana's recent performance indicates a solid bet on over 3.5 strikeouts. His last five games show a consistent ability to exceed this line, with an overall average of 4.4 strikeouts per game and an even higher average of 4.8 when playing away. This trend continues against the Texas Rangers, with Quintana averaging 5 strikeouts in his last five games against them. Furthermore, he averages around 6 innings per game, providing ample opportunity to secure the required strikeouts. Although his current hit streak is zero, this is less relevant to a strikeout bet. Therefore, based on Quintana's consistent ability to surpass 3.5 strikeouts, particularly in away games and against the Rangers, this bet is a strong choice.
