THE BAT X is forecasting 3.44 strikeouts for Jesse Scholtens compared to 3.99 strikeouts implied by the oddsmakers, so I believe there is value here. If you take the under, you'd be projected to win 56% of the time, resulting in a 26% ROI. Based on a $100 wager, the expected value here would be $25.71. This play is good down to at least -104.
