Carty’s THE BAT X sees value in UNDER 3.5 Ks for Ryan Gusto at +125. Gusto carries a projected 37.8% ground‑ball rate and faces a Padres lineup with the 5th‑lowest chase rate in MLB. The model gives the prop a 53% hit probability, yielding a +$19.81 expected return on a $100 wager.

Dan Marcus identified Astros pitcher Ryan Gusto ($6,200) as a highly volatile yet intriguing DFS punt play on DraftKings. Marcus pointed to Gusto's strong performances in a challenging pitching environment with Triple-A Sugar Land last season as an indicator of his upside. Facing an Angels offense that he believes has overachieved early in the season makes Gusto a viable boom-or-bust choice at a minimal cost.
