Capper Penguin's Friday MLB Pitcher Prop Pick - 4/19

AJ Puk has walked 5, 3, and 6 batters to kick off his starting role for the 2024 season and the Cubs don't chase. AJ relies heavily on batters to chase pitches outside of the zone and this has really bit him to start the season. I don't see much changing vs the Cubs who have a low chase rate at just 25.8%. This is two ticks below the MLB average and right where the Pirates rank who walked 6 times vs him. The Cubs have walked 3+ times in their last 13 of 16 games averaging 3.94 walks per game and this is the perfect opportunity for them to draw a few more.
