On Tuesday, all 30 MLB teams are in action, and each one will send a starting pitcher to the mound. They will record strikeouts, and sports bettors need to determine how many each would have for the over/under line.
That’s always a challenge for each pitcher, but it’s even harder when having to choose between the maximum possible starters. We’ve compiled some of the stronger bets for fans to keep an eye on from DraftKings.

Best MLB strikeout prop bets for April 29
5) Carlos Rodon: under 6.5 -145
Carlos Rodon has been excellent lately, and he’s been racking up strikeouts, including eight or more in each of his last four starts. He’s only been under seven once this season for the New York Yankees, but he is facing a solid offense in the Baltimore Orioles, a team he’s historically struggled against. Take the under.
4) Kyle Gibson: under 4.5 -160
Kyle Gibson has yet to pitch this year; however, he’s not a strikeout machine. He had a 20.9% K rate last year for the St. Louis Cardinals and has a career 7.28 K/9. Against an offense like the New York Yankees, he’s not in line to rack up the strikeouts in his first start. Take the under, even though the line is low for him on Tuesday.
3) Zack Wheeler: over 6.5 -135
Zack Wheeler has historically been a good strikeout pitcher (career 9.33 K/9), and that has continued in 2025. He is striking out 34% of the batters he’s faced for the Philadelphia Phillies. Even with a higher line, he’s due for an outstanding outing against the Washington Nationals, a team without a dominant offense. Take the over.
2) Nick Pivetta: over 5.5 -155 (Safest pick of the day)
Tuesday’s safest selection is Nick Pivetta. The San Diego Padres ace is striking out 27% of the batters he has seen this year and boasts a 9.93 career K/9. He’s up against the San Francisco Giants, and they strike out sometimes. The line is on the lower side, so take the over with confidence.
1) Garrett Crochet: over 6.5 +125 (Bold Prediction of the day)
Garrett Crochet is Tuesday’s bold prediction. Historically, the Boston Red Sox ace has racked up strikeouts. This year, he’s a bit below 30% for his K rate, which is still solid. He’s got a high line and is facing the Toronto Blue Jays, but he’s good enough to outdo the odds and cut down batters with ease. Take the over on Crochet.
