Lucy Burdge - Aug 19, 2022, 11:38am EDTHere are three of the bets at DraftKings that I love for tonight's games. BetQL subscribers can see all of our best bets with star ratings for every game. Join BetQL for free and see all of our best bets across all sports!
Kutter Crawford, Red Sox Over 3.5 Ks (-175) at Orioles
Crawford has hit this over in his last three starts and I see him doing it once against up against the Orioles here. He had five, four and six strikeouts in his last three starts and in his nine starts this season, he's hit this over in seven of them. The Orioles also have the 12th-highest team strikeouts in the league with 1,021. So I think Crawford can shut down this Orioles lineup and go over on this total to start off this series in Baltimore.

Pete Alonso, Mets Over 0.5 Home Runs (+270) vs. Phillies
Alonso is so due for a home run, as his last one came on Aug. 4, and I think this is a great spot to take him to hit his 30th of the season. Aaron Nola will be on the mound for the Phillies and Alonso is very familiar with facing the righty. In 40 at-bats against him, Alonso has 14 hits, including seven singles, three doubles and four, count 'em, four, home runs. So with that success against Nola already, I think Alonso has a spectacular chance to hit one out in this game against the Phillies.
Shane McClanahan, Rays Under 8.5 Ks (-175) vs. Royals
McClanahan has hit this under in 15 of his 22 starts this season, so while he is third in the odds to win the AL Cy Young at +900 at DraftKings, I don't see him going over on the strikeouts total against the Royals. Plus, the Royals are in the bottom of the pack when it comes to team strikeouts the season at 21st. McClanahan has hit this under in his last six straight starts and I think he'll do it again tonight.
