I will be playing some live strikeout bets here on Nolan McLean too, but the price on the 6th strikeout has not moved enough compared to the projection moving to well over six now. Regulars Corbin Carroll, Nolan Arenado and Gabriel Moreno are all out of the lineup, taking two sub-20% strikeout batters away, plus Carroll was sub-25% (in 2025). James McCann and Jose Fernandez are a couple of right handed hitters that have struggled with strikeouts, and McLean has been better vs lefties, which he will face six of tonight. He only had four strikeouts last time while "struggling to get a feel for his pitches" but he still hit 90+ pitches and should have plenty of run to work deeper in the game.
