Best MLB Bets Today: Baseball Prop Betting Picks 7/26

Thairo Estrada O/U 1.5 Total Bases | Claim $200 FREE

A day removed from a late scratch, Tyler Gilbert draws the start Tuesday, and Thairo Estrada has +120 odds for over 1.5 total bases. Estrada has a .822 OPS and .241 ISO against lefties and is striking out at just a 14.7% clip. Gilbert has been a great matchup for righty hitters, allowing 2.45 home runs per nine innings and a 6.76 FIP this season. Although Estrada has just one hit over his past three games, he had at least one in seven of the previous eight games and hit two home runs and two doubles. Rarely a pinch-hit risk, Estrada should see the plate four times and likely twice against Gilbert, making the plus-money odds for two bases one of the best MLB betting picks today.

Keegan Thompson O/U 4.5 Strikeouts | Claim $200 FREE

The biggest thing working in favor of Keegan Thompson’s prop tonight is that he gets to face the strikeout-prone Pittsburgh Pirates. Thompson is averaging 0.92 strikeouts per inning and 4.2 innings per start, placing him on pace for 4.24 strikeouts. Meanwhile, the Pirates have the second-highest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching (25.3%) and will have seven hitters with at least a 22% strikeout rate against righties — the other two hitters fall just beneath 20%. Thompson’s last outing against Pittsburgh netted seven strikeouts over six innings just under a month ago. Another plus-money prop in a good matchup, this is an easy nod to Thompson’s over.

Freddie Freeman O/U 0.5 HRs | Claim $200 FREE

Freddie Freeman is smashing this season, hitting .322 with 15 home runs, and tonight he faces Josiah Gray, who has allowed 3.13 HR/9 to lefties this year. Sweetening the deal further, Gray has surrendered seven home runs in his past three games, including three to Seattle in his last start, two of which went to lefties Adam Frazier and Jesse Winker. Freeman has been on fire, with three home runs in his last six performances. Getting a 4-to-1 return against a pitcher with a 22.4% HR/FB rate adds another value prop to Tuesday tickets.

As further incentive to hop on the Dodger lefty home run bandwagon against Gray, be sure to claim your FREE $200 at BetMGM when doing so (even if Freeman isn’t your preferred pick)! This ensures you’re in for plus money odds, regardless of whether or not Gray gives up a home run.

Best MLB Betting Pick Today: Freddie Freeman OVER 0.5 Total Home Runs (+400)

Emmanuel Rivera O/U 1.5 Total Bases | Claim $200 FREE

While Emmanuel Rivera’s overall numbers this season have been subpar, tonight’s opponent Jose Suarez has struggled against righty hitters, allowing 2.1 HR/9 and a 5.6 FIP. Suarez has been shelled over his last two starts, surrendering 10 runs and lasting just 3.2 innings in each start. Should Suarez get the early exit, the Angels bullpen is also mediocre, with a collective 1.25 HR/9 and 4.18 ERA. Rivera has recorded a hit in 13 of his past 15 games, including three doubles and four multi-hit performances. With solid plus-money odds, Rivera makes for more great value on a total bases prop.
