Matt Perrault recommended taking the over 4.5 strikeouts for Cade Povich against the Kansas City Royals. He highlighted that Povich delivered an impressive 8 strikeouts in just 4.1 innings against the Red Sox last Monday, demonstrating high swing-and-miss ability. Despite limited innings pitched, Povich comfortably surpassed his previous strikeout prop. Perrault also emphasized the Royals high strikeout tendencies, noting they currently rank 22nd against the K-props for starting pitchers. Given these factors, Perrault believes this sets up well for another strong strikeout outing for Povich and endorsed following the BettingPros prop bet cheat sheet, which also rates this play highly.

JD Bets recommends taking Cade Povich over 4.5 strikeouts against Boston, emphasizing Boston's continued struggles from last year, when they were among the easiest teams to strikeout against. Boston's early season struggles have carried into their current season, posting a 1-3 record and maintaining their high strikeout frequency from the previous season. Additionally, he leans favorably toward Baltimore winning outright due to Boston's overall poor early-season play and Baltimore performing competitively, splitting their opening series with Toronto.
