Every starter is ranked by walk risk against today's lineup — his command, the lineup's plate discipline, and his workload. It's the read DFS and pitcher-prop players make before lock.
Top spot: Mason Englert Mason Englert (TB) tops the Friday, July 17, 2026 board at 100, projected for about 1.0 BB vs BOS. His command, the lineup's plate discipline, and his workload.

Eduardo Rivera (BOS) (62) — about 1.6 BB vs TB. Cade Cavalli (WSH) (62) — about 1.6 BB vs ATH. How to read the walks allowed board Each starter's score (0–100) ranked by walk risk against today's lineup — his command, the lineup's plate discipline, and his workload. We project a walks count for the start and grade it against what actually happened.
Frequently asked questions
Which pitcher has the best walks allowed matchup today (Friday, July 17, 2026)? Mason Englert (TB) — top of the board at 100, projected for about 1.0 BB against BOS.
What are the best pitcher walks props today? The top projected starts on Friday, July 17, 2026: Mason Englert (~1.0 BB), Spencer Miles (~1.1 BB), Cal Quantrill (~1.3 BB), Troy Melton (~1.4 BB), Eduardo Rivera (~1.6 BB). The full board ranks every starter.
How is the walks allowed score calculated? Ranked by walk risk against today's lineup — his command, the lineup's plate discipline, and his workload. Scores are set 0–100 across the slate, with a projected walks count alongside, and graded against the box score.
Can I use this for pitcher props or DFS? Yes — the board surfaces the best walks spots and projects a number. Where there's a posted line we show the over/under and which side our projection leans. We show the data and grade it, not picks. What the walks allowed board is The Walks Allowed board projects how many free passes a starter issues. One statistical model scores every matchup on the slate the same way — a star and a backup judged on the matchup in front of them, not their name — and every number is graded against the real box score once the games go final.
How the model gets its number It isn't a gut call or a name game. The projection is built from a few things:
His control. The lineup's patience. Count leverage. Those pieces combine into one number, and the model re-tunes itself weekly against how its past calls actually landed.
Is there a betting edge here? Walks are near-unpredictable at the margin and the market prices them efficiently. Transparency board.
How to use it A read on a starter's command for the night; no edge to bet.
Everything here is a research signal from the model, graded in public — not betting advice, and no outcome is guaranteed.
