Best MLB prop on Wednesday
Bryan Woo Over 5.5 strikeouts
Woo has struck out at least six batters in seven straight starts. He’s gone Over 5.5 strikeouts in 18 of 25 outings this season, including 9 of 11 at home. We think this line is taking into account his 2024 campaign too much when he struck out only 101 batters in 121 innings. Our model is weighing his 2025 performance more heavily, where Woo is averaging 6.4 K’s per start.
