⚾️ 🏀 The Prop Queen Newsletter

Afternoon Edition - May 21st, 2025

Hi subscribers! In this afternoon’s newsletter, I’ve included batters to watch, strikeout props, MLB fishy lines and NBA trends for tonight’s Pacers-Knicks playoff game. Since this morning’s premium newsletter, I added two more Knicks’ trends.

Sports betting researcher Jessica Brand also provides her favorite NBA and MLB prop of the day.

About Last Night…

Where the PQ Newsletter was RIGHT:

  • Tigers ace Tarik Skubal went over his 6.5 K prop with eight strikeouts in 5.2 innings against the Cardinals. Lefties are now 11-3 o/u their K prop against St. Louis.

  • Royals starter Michael Lorenzen went over his 4.5 K prop with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings against the Giants.

  • A’s right hander Gunnar Hoglund went over his 4.5 K prop with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings against the Angels. 62% of righties to face the Angels have gone over their K prop.

  • The Tampa Bay Rays cash the fishy line with a 3-2 win over the Houston Astros. The Rays trailed 2-0 until the eighth inning when they tied it up at two, then walked it off on a Taylor Walls sac fly in the ninth.

  • Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards’ points prop was too high at 25.5 He put up just 18 points against the Thunder.

Where the PQ Newsletter was WRONG:

  • Mets starter Clay Holmes did not go over his 5.5 K prop. He punched out five Red Sox in six innings.

  • The Miami Marlins did not cash the fishy line getting murdered by the Cubs 14-1.

  • TWolves center Rudy Gobert did not have a good night on the boards against OKC. He went under his 9.5 rebounds prop grabbing just three boards.

  • OKC star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just went under his 31.5 points prop with 31 points against the TWolves.
