PRO Projections submitted one of the juiciest MLB strikeout props of the entire season Tuesday. Today's best pick is Pirates starter Jared Jones' strikeout line when Pittsburgh takes on the New York Mets at Citi Field on April 16.
Jones, 22, has already posted some strong numbers across his first cup of coffee as a rookie. The Pirates right-hander has fanned 25 hitters across 18 innings, alongside a WHIP south of 1.000.
Tonight's strikeout total for Jones in Pirates vs. Mets is 6.5. The Mets are slightly favored at home in the second game of the series. Tuesday's full-game over/under (7.5), meanwhile, is one of the lowest on the MLB odds board Tuesday.
With that in mind, check out the strikeout number our betting models posted. Hint: It's nowhere close to where Jones' strikeout prop is set tonight.
