Best MLB Bets Today: Baseball Prop Betting Picks 7/25

Jorge Mateo O/U 0.5 Stolen Bases | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

Jorge Mateo has a .210 batting average and 23 stolen bases this season, and his over on 0.5 stolen bases comes at +390 odds. Mateo has the second-most stolen bases in the majors and has only been caught four times, leading to an 85.1% success rate. Corey Kluber is a susceptible target for stolen base artists, allowing 16 stolen bases and catching merely three base runners since last season. Over the past month, Mateo has been excelling, with an .822 OPS and six stolen bases. In his past four starts, Kluber has allowed 22 hits and 11 earned runs while striking out just 17.87%. With an inviting matchup in Kluber, Mateo at nearly 4-to-1 return for a stolen base makes for one of the best MLB betting picks today.

Best MLB Betting Pick Today: Jorge Mateo OVER 0.5 Stolen Bases (+390)

UPDATE 12:50 PM PT: When it comes to stolen bases props, I can’t seem to catch a break here. However, the blessing is in disguise as another prime candidate for the prop offers every bit as much return and then some in swooping just one base on steals: Cedric Mullins comes in as our late hero at +400 odds on the over to steal a bag against Kluber. Mullins is behind Mateo in total stolen bases this season by just three (20 total stolen bases) with an 80% conversion rate in 2022. Not only does Mullins provide that morsel of relief yet also stands pat as a better overall option at the plate to get on base, smoking a .773 OPS and 118 wRC+ with five home runs against right-handed pitching while Kluber has carried a bigger bullseye against opposing lefty hitters with a 4.06 xFIP. In exchange for Mateo’s day off, snag the over on Mullins’ stolen bases.

Jake Odorizzi O/U 4.5 Strikeouts | Claim $200 FREE at BetMGM

Jake Odorizzi has an 18.3% strikeout rate and .238 average against in 10 starts. Tonight, he faces the Oakland Athletics, who have a collective 23.9% strikeout rate and 79 wRC+ against right-handed pitching this year. Odorizzi is averaging 0.75 strikeouts per inning and just under five innings per start, which would put him on pace for 3.6 strikeouts today. However, in his last two performances, both coming against Oakland, Odorizzi struck out five and seven while lasting 7.0 innings and 5.1 innings, respectively. The Athletics will have seven hitters with at least a 22% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching. While not the most invigorating player prop to chase, spending a nickel up from even money on just five strikeouts for Odorizzi is one of the best values among Monday’s pitching props.

Kyle Tucker faces Adam Oller tonight, and Oller has a 13.1% strikeout rate and 2.63 home runs per nine innings in 10 games this season. Facing left-handed hitting, Oller has been lit up to the tune of a 10.48 FIP, 4.09 HR/9 and 31.3% HR/FB rate. Tucker has 12 home runs, an .857 OPS and 146 wRC+ against righties, and despite a five-game home run slump, his last long ball came against the Athletics eight days ago. Getting another 4-to-1 return for one Tucker home run wraps a bow around Monday’s prop card.
