Best MLB Bets Today: Player Props & Betting Picks
Jordan Montgomery Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+130, Sugar House)
The Yankees’ hot streak could only be stopped by a hurricane raining out what was sure to be their 10th straight win yesterday. However, tonight they can win on the road against the equally hot Braves. Atlanta has an excellent lineup to attack left handers, and Jordan Montgomery will surely have his work cut out for him tonight. Although he is bound to give up some runs against the Braves, there are also plenty of strikeouts, and he gets to face a pitcher in a National League park. The Braves have power up and down the lineup, but that comes at a cost of elevated strikeouts. Only two batters in the projected lineup have strikeout rates of less than 20%. Plus odds on six strikeouts make this a bet to lock in tonight.
Alek Manoah Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-152, PointsBet)
Alek Manoah has been fantastic at generating swings and misses for the Jays since his callup. Almost a 30% strikeout percentage means paying some juice on this bet, but it also has a very high odds of success according to Awesemo’s prop model. the White Sox are another team that has abundant power in their lineup, but it also has a lot of strikeouts, with Yoan Moncada and the catchers leading the way. While this bet is going to be made at unfavorable odds, it makes sense to take such a bet when it succeeds at almost at 70% clip.
Carlos Correa to Hit a Home Run (+475, BetMGM)
Again an Astro makes this column, as Carlos Correa will look to go deep against a southpaw in Daniel Lynch. Lynch has struggled this year, giving up an xSLG of .485 and only striking out 18% of batters. Correa is having another great season, with 9% barrels and an xSLG of .448. He is barely striking out 18% of the time, and he should get four or five shots to go deep tonight.
