Todays player prop takes us to the Astros vs Rangers game, which starts at 8:10 PM EST. Me and the Robot instantly agreed on this one, and I think we found some good value here.

Framber Valdez under 5.5 strikeouts -110

While I originally came here to write about his over outs prop, it opened at 17.5 and was quickly juiced to -160, I ended parlaying that with Yankees ML in a separate bet. Valdez has been very good for the Astros this season, boasting a 2-2 record with a 2.93 era. The thing about Framber is he's just not a strikeout pitcher. Despite making it deep into these games, he's constantly getting soft contact, rarely trying to strike batters out. He only has 6+ K's in 3/7 games this season, and recorded 5 against the Rangers already this year. Considering the fact that left handed pitchers are 14-2 to the under against the Rangers, and they've already seen him once this year, I agree with the projections that have him around 4.55 strikeouts.
