Mike Trout Strikeouts

po

@TxRangers

 Post a ticket butt plug or shut up.To much emotion i still think your female.

This whole thing is over a bad spooning experience between him and trout.Final insult came when he never called or wrote from the road.

@iceman67

 "Fixed"? I have no idea what you mean? But that's typical from a Mike Trout fan. They have no conception about anything. They just love watching Mike Trout strike out 600 times with 465 hits playing part-time in the last 7 seasons. Oh, and a 242 batting average. Imagine if he played full time for the past 7 seasons? Right now, and his career, he would be the all-time strikeout King passing the great Reggie Jackson. 

@bonfire69

 Another typical response from trout fan! You have no idea what this thread is about? But it's okay dude, I understand you're frustration about society. You actually think I have a problem with trout? And you keep proving my point why this thread keeps going on and on and on and on. Well, also because Cleveland won last night just like I said they were

Mike Trout playing part-time the last 7 seasons. 596 k's, 468 hits, .238 avg. Do people realize how many times trout has struck out with men on base to end the inning. He can't even hit a sacrifice fly. But I know, I know, his metrics are off the chart. His metrics are utterly amazing. He can't hit the ball, that's why he walks so often because he knows he can't hit. But hey, his metrics are awesome

Does anyone know why trout walks so much? Does anyone know why he takes the first pitch strike? I will tell you. Because his first agenda at the plate, is to WALK. He knows he can't hit, so he's looking for a ball. The dude literally either strikes out, walks, or hits an occasional, meaningless home run. He has been a joke of a baseball player for almost a decade now. But you guys love him.

I love my Mike Trout sucks thread. I tried to stop it last night, but Cleveland won just like I said they were. But I know, he's great, his metrics are great, blah blah blah. Let's look at his accomplishments, then not accomplishments. He has accomplished a few MVPs, silver sluggers and that's it. Being an All-Star is about popularity. And we all know people love Mike Trout. Now let's look what he hasn't accomplished? 0 championships, division titles, playoff wins, ( only one playoff appearance) , batting titles, home run titles, triple crowns, 200 hit seasons, gold gloves, Platinum gloves, only 2 times over 100 RBIs in a season. But everyone thinks he's great! He's a joke of a baseball player and has been for almost a decade

Isn't he like 4th or 5th right now in the MVP race -- at his age.

Why do baseball experts, pundits, and writers all think he is still that good, despite his strikeouts?

@Raiders22

 Trust me, baseball experts do not think he's good. So, you think someone who hit 220, 106 hits 178 strikeouts, 64 RBIs for an entire season is good? Do you really think those numbers are good? Because if you do? What do you think of Miguel Cabrera's numbers who won a triple crown? What do you call those numbers?

@Raiders22

 Pundits and writers doesn't have baseball knowledge. They just write things. Experts know that Trout's stats has been greatly diminishing for almost a decade now. But let's see your answer to my simple question. Is 220 for a full season a good batting average for a professional baseball player. 

@Raiders22

 64 RBIs for a full season is good? A 220 batting average for a full season is good? 106 hits for a full season is good? I'm not mentioning his strikeouts. But, 106 hits for a full season is good?

They are the experts. They do not 'just write things'. 

He is batting .248 right now.  11th in HRs, 13th in OPS.

I don't doubt that they realize his stats have diminished from his younger days but they still recognize how well he has done so far this year.

Trout has had one good series where the when was blowing out at 32 mph because 22 home runs were hit. He's had one good series in 7 years and people think he's great. Without those four magical days with your 32 mile per hour winds. He has 6 home runs, 14 RBIs. 228 batting average. But I know, I know, he's great. He's had one good series and 7 years and he's the best baseball player ever. How come you don't want to talk about the next series where he struck out eight times

3 home runs after the Yankees series. I know, I know, he's great, blah blah blah blah blah

@Raiders22

 His younger days? Dude, his stats have been diminishing since he was 29 years old. Not just this year or last year. When you got hurt in 2022, or maybe it was 2023. He was on pace for 200 strikeouts, he was hitting 240. He got hurt, and miss the remainder of the season. That was years ago. He hasn't been relevant in baseball in almost a decade. Is steroids are wearing off that's why he gets hurt washing his hands. LOL and yes, he takes steroids, they all do.

@TxRangers

 And...?

He weighed 190 lb when he got drafted. He weighs 235 now. And people don't think he took steroids. They are a bunch of morons. But then again, they are Mike Trout fans and to them, he's a God. Jose canseco weighed 185 when he got drafted, he bulked up to 240 lb. How? Steroids, that's how. Trout's weight, same damn thing but people won't mention that. They're mad at canseco because he bucked up to 240, but trout has done the exact same thing.

@Raiders22

 This guy is nuts .Im falling out of my chair laughing watching him go off on another rant.There is something sexually between these two.Ranger you are to smart for me I think Trout is the greatest player of all time better then the bambino mays and mantle combined.You got me.

i have not been following the bet results and have not even looked at the odds but trout has 21 so in 12 games in may. that sounds like raiders22 is on to something. damm i always thought trout was good...never even knew he beefed up. but i guess it make sense...angels sux

@norronpatron

 Yes, 100% Trout took steroids. But no one talks about that? No one talks about he weighed 190 when he got drafted, he weighs 235 now. That's steroids, that's all steroids. Jose canseco body type! The same thing. 185 when he got drafted, 240 when he took steroids. But noooooooo. Morons don't think trout took steroids. 

I'm trying to post it but I can't? Or I don't know how? Perfect Game has Mike Trout listed as a senior in high school, 190 lb. Now he weighs 235. His scouting report says he was an average player at best. Then he took steroids, and he took off. But 100% Mike Trout took steroids. No one talks about that? The same body type as canseco

Grabbed the game logs off of StatMuse:

11 games in May and 7 multiple strikeout games.

25 games in April and 7 multiple strikeout games.

6 games in March and 2 multiple strikeout games.

Got the Typical odds for a 2+ strikeout prop, odds are often closer to:

• +120 to +250 depending on

~ +180 odds   +28.8 and -26 =  +2.8 YTD

11 games in May and 10 with at least 1K

25 games in April and 15 with at least 1K

6 games in March and 4 with at least 1k

Got the Typical odds look something like:

• Over 0.5 strikeouts: around -180 to -300
• Under 0.5 strikeouts: around +140 to +220

~ -240 odds    +29 and  -31.2 =  -2.2 YTD

Is this really profitable?  Is there really any sort of edge here?

Maybe if you can isolate how he does against a particular pitcher or something.

Just looking at the average expected odds it appears the books have this adjusted about right for someone to lose money on this prop over the year if they simply bet it blindly.

 Little harsh. No?
