Don't miss a single first pitch — lock in your Triple Play All-Access Pass today and start cashing tickets!

*Access includes all MLB selections and any college/international baseball released and played during your 3-day window.

(963) Los Angeles Angels at (964) Minnesota Twins: Joe Ryan Strikeouts
2:10pm EDT - Jul 11/2026

THE PLAY: Joe Ryan Strikeouts Over 7.5 (-125) Home Listed Pitcher Must Start

(963) Los Angeles Angels at (964) Minnesota Twins: Joe Ryan Strikeouts

2% Joe Ryan Strikeouts Over 7.5 (-125) Home Listed Pitcher Must Start

Joe Ryan Performance Analysis:

  • Elite Daytime Performance: Ryan has been practically untouchable during afternoon games this season. In his 7 day starts, he has posted a stifling 0.98 ERA and a 0.764 WHIP, demonstrating nearly perfect control and run suppression in daytime conditions.

  • Home Field Strikeout Advantage: Ryan’s "swing-and-miss" stuff reaches its peak at home. While he averages 1.17 K’s per inning overall, that number jumps to 1.28 K’s per inning at home. He currently averages 6.7 K’s per home start, a metric that is even more impressive considering it includes one outing where he was removed after facing just a single batter.

  • Exceptional Durability and Command: The coaching staff has shown immense trust in Ryan’s longevity, as he has topped 90 pitches in 11 straight starts. He enters this game in peak form, having recorded 9 K’s on 106 pitches in his most recent outing.

  • Consistent Home Results: Ryan has been a strikeout machine in his own park lately, totaling 26 K’s (averaging 8.7 per game) across his last 4 home starts.

Los Angeles Angels Performance Analysis:

  • High Strikeout Propensity: The Angels' offense is currently struggling with contact and plate discipline. Over their last 6 games, the lineup has recorded 63 K’s, averaging a high 10.5 strikeouts per game.

Consultant Bio

MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW HIM @JMSportsCLE

Yet another handicapper from the Cleveland area following Marc Lawrence, Phil Steele, Ralph Michaels, Ed Meyer, and Bryan Leonard. In fact, Jeff's hunger for handicapping began at a young age, being surrounded by parents who made sports betting a daily routine. Jeff then worked for both North Coast Sports and Phil Steele Publications, learning the intricacies of sports betting and becoming a profitable handicapper. Throughout his college years, Jeff's mathematical and analytical prowess helped him develop a betting strategy that turned sports betting into a profitable venture.

Jeff now joins the Sports Memo Marketplace after selling picks on several small sites. Jeff handicaps the traditional sports of NFL, CFB, the NBA, College Basketball, and MLB while showing real prowess in the WNBA. He has dominated the teaser market and has spent a lot of his focus on sides. While also adding in a share of props (especially NFL & MLB), as well as totals.
