MLB Player Props & Bets: Friday (4/3)
Bryan Woo Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-156 at FanDuel)
Bryan Woo is fresh off a nine strikeout performance against Cleveland and should rack up the K's in bunches again on Friday, thanks to facing off against the Los Angeles Angels. Los Angeles is aggressive in the box and is facing a pitcher who has forced a 32% K rate over his career. The Angels are near the bottom of the league in High-Fastball K rate, which is the perfect recipe for a Woo over play. Woo has a 28.6 K% over 84 plate appearances against the Angels’ projected starting lineup. Tap Woo for Friday’s MLB action at FanDuel.
Joe Boyle Over 14.5 Outs Recorded (-167 at Caesars Sportsbook)
Joe Boyle offers some value for Friday's slate. He is known for command issues, but has continued working on location over the offseason, and the training has paid dividends as he issued zero free passes his last time on the mound, recording 18 outs in the process. Boyle has been strong against this current Twins lineup, holding them to a .185 batting average against with a 38.5 K%. Add to that Joe will be toeing the rubber in the pitcher friendly confines of Oracle, and we have an easy overplay. Bet on Boyle and his curve for Friday's slate at Caesars Sportsbook despite the juice.
Nolan McLean Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-120 at FanDuel)
Nolan McLean racked up eight strikeouts in his last start in just five innings of work against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The exciting young hurler posted a 10.69 K/9 rate last season and should continue to pile up the strikeouts in 2026. Location is sometimes an issue for the potential future ace (leading to shorter starts), but he sports an elite 38.6 K% and a 38.1 CSW%, so we will ride with Nolan on strikeout totals until the books force our hand. Mash the over on McLean for Friday’s MLB slate at FanDuel.
