Pick 4: Jose Quintana Strikeouts Over 3.5 (-153 on Betway, -170 on DK, -205 on Fanduel🤮)

The Pittsburgh Pirates host the NY Yankees today with Jose Quintana taking the mound for the Pirates. Quintana is only 1-4 in recorded results this season with a 3.43 ERA but has earned 4+ Ks in 10 of his last 12 starts this season. Additionally, the Yankees are trending UP right now in strikeouts per game against opposing starting pitchers. 

Starting Pitcher Strikeouts versus NY Yankees by Date

Looking at the above graph, we see the NY Yankees have struck out 5+ times in 6 of their last 7 games against starting pitchers, and 7 of their last 10 overall. They are 13-7 striking out at least four times over their last 20 games. Their average strikeouts per game in the last 10 games is at exactly 6 per game against starting pitchers. With NY batters striking out more and Quintana seemingly finding his stride, I like this play a lot at -153 odds on betway. DO NOT place this bet for the disgusting -205 odds on Fanduel, you are better off signing up for an account anywhere else for this play.
