Chad Patrick has shown solid strikeout ability this season with a 3.72 ERA and a 9.0 K/9 rate, and is pitching against the Rockies on June 29, 2025. Despite a 3-7 record, Patrick’s recent performances include multiple games with six or more strikeouts, highlighted by a dominant 15-K outing.

His consistent ability to generate swings and misses makes the over 5.5 strikeouts prop a strong contender for today’s slate. While no two games or pitchers are the same, Quinn Priester's 11 K outing against Colorado on Saturday certainly adds weight to this pick.

#1. Jack Leiter: Over 4.5 Strikeouts (+100) Bold Prediction of the Day

Jack Leiter takes the mound against the Mariners with a 4.55 ERA this season. Over 65.1 innings, he’s struck out 51 batters, averaging 7.0 K/9, though his control has been a concern with a high 4.4 BB/9.

Despite some inconsistency, Leiter’s ability to miss bats makes the over 4.5 strikeouts prop an intriguing and bold pick for today’s game.
