Steven called Robbie Ray the only pitcher who pops for strikeout props Friday because Baltimore owns the seventh-highest K-rate versus lefties (24%). Ray averages roughly a strikeout per inning, but Just A Bet Outside warned the results have been erratic—0, 6, 4, 8 and 6 Ks his last five starts. The host still tagged Ray’s over as playable, especially if books hang a modest number, while advising bettors to scale exposure given the volatility.

Although he admitted he’s "not super convinced," Kenny G still leans Giants at -160. San Francisco has won six of its last seven (swept the Cubs after taking two of three from Milwaukee) and remains in the NL Wild Card mix. Robbie Ray is 10-6 with a 2.93 ERA and should benefit from unfamiliarity against Baltimore. The Giants’ bullpen has been elite, while the Orioles pen sits at 4.64 ERA. Baltimore is 29-37 on the road and its offense, once dominant, has cratered to 26th in OBP. Given form, pitching edge, and venue, Kenny prefers San Francisco to extend its hot streak.
