Happy Patriots Day! ⚾🏃

There's no better way to spend a Monday morning than with baseball at 11:10 AM in Fenway — and I've got your K prop breakdown for today's Tigers vs. Red Sox plus a giveaway you don't want to miss. Let's get into it.

⚾ PATRIOTS DAY K PROP BOARD DET @ BOS — 11:10 AM ET

DET RHP JACK FLAHERTY OVER 5.5 KS -146 🟡 CAUTION

Here's what's working for the over on Flaherty today:

He had 9 strikeouts in Fenway two years ago, so he's proven he can work in this park. In afternoon starts last year, he averaged 5.6 Ks per start — right at this number — though he did go under in both road afternoon starts, posting around 3 Ks in each. Worth noting: both of those came against low-K rate teams in the Marlins and Guardians. Today's opponent is a different story. Five of the nine batters in Boston's projected starting lineup carry above-average whiff rates against right-handed pitching. And RHSP have gone 10-7 O/U against the Red Sox this year, averaging 5.5 Ks per start — with five of the last six starters going over their K prop vs. Boston.

The afternoon splits give me some pause, but the lineup matchup is real.

BOS RHP SONNY GRAY OVER 5.5 KS — +125 🟢 SHARP

Plus money on a pitcher who went for 10 Ks against this exact Detroit lineup last year? I'm listening.

Gray averaged 6.2 Ks per start in afternoon games last season and went over in 7 of 13 of those spots. RHSP have gone 10-7 O/U against Detroit this year, averaging 5.2 Ks per start. The value on the plus side here is what pushes this into Sharp territory for me.

📋 Full K Prop Board Cut drops later this afternoon — stay tuned.

Didn’t get into the last contest? Starting April 21st, we have our BIGGEST Hit Streak Survivor contest yet!

🎁 GIVEAWAY + THE CONTEST I'M PLAYING ALL SEASON

Okay, I need to tell you about two things at once because they go hand in hand.

First — Splash Sports Hit Streak Survivor. This is the contest I've been locked into, and here's how it works:

➡️ $20 entry. $30,000 prize pool. Each day, you pick two batters to record a base hit or better. Simple. But — you can never use the same batter twice. That's where the strategy comes in and that's exactly what the Prop Queen Method is built for.

There's also a $10,000 Cycle Jackpot hiding inside this thing. If you pick a batter on the same day they hit for the cycle (single, double, triple, and home run in the same game), you win $10K. First eligible entry to do it takes it — and it can only be won once for the entire contest. You have to have an active entry to be eligible. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited.

Now for the giveaway. 👇

I'm giving away this Bernie Williams jersey/shirt to one lucky winner. To enter:

  1. Enter the Splash Sports Hit Streak Survivor contest (Use code PropQueen if it’s your first Splash contest).
