Projection Powered Player Props - April 18
Stuart Durst is back with three player props to end your week the right way!
Cole Ragans Over 7.5 Strikeouts
Price: +100
Book: DK
Projection: 8.9
Edge: 13%
It’s incredibly hard to get a solid edge on a number this high in any projection system, so I clearly agree that Ragans is in a fantastic spot to continue his dominance despite the high price tag. Ragans is coming into this game over in ¾ starts, with double-digit K’s in three straight outings, and I don’t think the Tigers are going to be the team that slows him down.
Ragans is currently sitting in the 100th percentile in K% and possesses the third highest SwStr% in the MLB at 17.3%. He’s also absolutely dominating right-handed batters with an insane 27K in 64 ABs this season, along with his 30% K rate vs RHH last season. The Tigers will likely start seven righties, and I expect Ragans to dominate once again. He just got deeper last game than he has in any game in his career, so the leash will be very good.
