Kansas City Royals pitcher Cole Ragans has become one of the best strikeout pitchers in baseball. He struck out 223 batters across 32 starts in 2024 and had an impressive 38.1% strikeout rate across 13 starts in 2025.

Considering Ragans struck out at least six batters in nine of his 13 starts last year, this is a bet worth taking on Friday. Walter has the southpaw going over this line against the Braves, and Ragans is capable of pitching into the sixth inning. The Royals pitcher threw 86 pitches in his last Spring Training start last Saturday.

This prop has a 2.8% Value on PrizePicks.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein is in a prime spot to dominate on the boards against the Bulls. Chicago will be without starting center Jalen Smith, and both backups (Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards) are questionable due to injuries.

So, this is a nice value bet. Hartenstein has gone over this line in three of his last five games, and the Bulls rank 23rd in rebounds allowed to centers per game. Look for the Thunder center to bring down plenty of rebounds against a Chicago team that ranks 21st in field goal percentage since February 17.
