Shane McClanahan (Rays) over 1.5 walks (-130)

Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Shane McClanahan has played himself into the AL CY Young discussion. A 2.53 ERA leads the league along with 11 wins but the matchup is difficult today. He’ll battle it out against the Texas Rangers for the second time this season. We’re fading his walks to make it 4 starts in a row with at least 2 free passes.

Walks weren’t an issue for McClanahan last season as he registered a 5.8 BB%. Fast forward to this season and it’s been his biggest downfall. A 9.8 BB% ranks him in the 29th percentile among qualifying pitchers. Texas ranks in the bottom 10 in BB% against LHP in the last 30 days but their K rate is top 10 during that span. I trust this potent offense to build up full counts and for McClanahan to make it 13 of 18 on this prop.
