Most Strikeouts by a pitcher, isn\u2019t one of them. Although, if you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>avoid going with the overwhelming favorite, you can find some tantalizing odds. Still, the top<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>choices are the players who also are favored in the chase for the Cy Young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spencer Strider, Atlanta Braves (+195)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spencer Strider has been a strikeout machine since 2022 when he threw 202 strikeouts despite<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>just pitching 131 innings in his first year as a starter.

The 25 year old had 44 more K\u2019s than any other pitcher last season, and this is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>why he\u2019s the overwhelming favorite to go back-to-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kevin Gausman, Toronto Blue Jays (+1200)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a big gap between Strider and everyone else and Kevin Gausman, who led the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>American League with 237 strikeouts, has a chance to dethrone the Braves ace in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gausman has been in the top six in strikeouts for each of the last 3 seasons and the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>right-hander registering the highest strikeout rate (31.1%) of his career when he\u2019s pitched<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>100-plus innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gerrit Cole, New York Yankees (+900)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gerrit Cole offers some real value for the reigning Cy Young winner as he knows a thing or two<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>about leading baseball in strikeouts.
