There may be some value on Michael McGreevy's strikeouts prop. THE BAT X is projecting him to record 3.33 strikeouts, and oddsmakers are implying 3.90. The model believes there is a 58% chance he records fewer than 4 strikeouts. If you can get the under at +115 or better there is great value here. Love THE BAT X?
