Are 15 strikeouts even possible?

What are the chances of Nationals pitchers striking out 15 batters?

While it may not happen every day, it does occur regularly.

The Nationals achieved the feat of striking out 15 or more opposing batters three times in the year 2021. Among these instances, their highest record of 17 strikeouts occurred in a close defeat against the New York Yankees on May 8th.

Moreover, Washington fell slightly behind, managing to achieve 12-14 strikeouts on eight separate occasions.

In general, BetMGM bettors who chose to participate have received a $15 free bet in about 3% of Nationals games, which equates to roughly once every month.

As of Tuesday’s games, here is the breakdown:

Out of the total games played in 2021, only 1 had 17 strikeouts, which accounts for just 0.9%.

16: 0 (0.0%)

15: 2 (1.8%)

14: 1 (0.9%)

13: 6 (5.4%)

12: 1 (0.9%)

The chances of Washington reaching the 15K milestone have diminished recently due to the departure of Max Scherzer. The Nationals traded away the three-time Cy Young Award winner, along with the fast and talented shortstop Trea Turner, to the Dodgers before the MLB Trade Deadline.

Josiah Gray, the latest starter to lead Washington to 15 strikeouts, achieved a total of 10 strikeouts in his recent weekend start. Subsequently, he received assistance from the bullpen.

Making only his second career MLB start, the rookie returns to the mound for Friday’s series opener against the Braves at home.
