MLB Betting: Player Props Odds & Best Bets | June 8

Blue Jays vs. White Sox Over 8 Runs: -115 (BetMGM)

Two very good pitchers face off against two very good offenses in Chicago, where the weather is perfect for hitting baseballs over fences. Eight runs is a low total for these two offenses, even with Carlos Rodon and Robbie Ray facing off. Both offenses crush left-handed pitching and do not strike out much at all. Ray is striking out 29% this year but is also giving up 50% hard hits and xSLG of .461. Rodon has been very stingy with giving up power while striking out a ridiculous 37% of batters. However, he is facing a right-handed power team that strikes out only 21%, which is well below average. Rodon is still giving up 40% hard hits and plenty of line drives and fly balls. Hit the over here, as these stats suggest this to be a low-key, high-scoring game.

Drew Smyly Under 5.5 Strikeouts vs. Phillies: -122 (FanDuel)

Smyly had a resurgent season in all metrics last year but has come out this year and has looked like a shadow of last year’s self. He is still getting a decent amount of swinging strikes but is also getting hit very, very hard. Today he has a matchup with the Phillies in hot and humid Philadelphia. The top of this lineup has very few strikeouts and carries a ton of power. If Smyly gets deep in this game, he will have some strikeouts, but the Phillies having one of the highest totals on the slate, so Smyly will likely not last long.

Carlos Martinez Under 3.5 Strikeouts vs. Indians: +100 (BetMGM)

Taking the under on a paltry 3.5 strikeouts in this day and age of elevated swings and misses does not seem like a good idea. However, Martinez has been so bad that it makes sense. He has two games this year where has had a swinging strike rate of less than 3%. This is unheard of. Add to this the fact that the Indians only strike out 23% of the time and have a very good chance of knocking Martinez out early, and it seems like a very decent spot to invest some dollars.
