We then followed up that best bet with Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means’ strikeout prop. Means went over 4.5 strikeouts (-110) against the Royals as he recorded 5 strikeouts in 7.0 IP.

MLB picks for Friday, September 10th
Tanner Houck over 5.5 strikeouts (-110) vs. Chicago White Sox
After going 2-1 in our last three player props, we are going to go back to the well one more time with Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck. Houck does not have a win on his resume this season, but still manages to rack up the strikeouts. The 25-year-old starter has a 0-3 record, 3.26 ERA, and 62 strikeouts in 49.2 IP.
Furthermore, Houck has gone over 5.5 strikeouts in 7 out of 12 games (10 starts) this season. On Friday night, he’ll be going up against the Chicago White Sox, who have lost 3 out of their last 4 games. The White Sox’s offense is averaging 8.66 strikeouts per game, but that number goes down at home to 7.90 strikeouts per game. However, we’ve seen Houck pick up 5 or more strikeouts against powerful offenses such as the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, and Toronto Blue Jays.
