Best MLB Bets Today: Player Prop Odds & Betting Picks
Chi Chi Gonzalez Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-141)
Gonzalez is somehow still starting in the MLB. A lot of this has to do with the fact that he pitches for the Rockies, and they are out of the playoffs. There is very little chance for Gonzalez to be successful in this start. Not only is he in the best hitting park in the world, but he is also facing a great Giants lineup that destroys right-handed pitching. Gonzalez is averaging an anemic 13% strikeouts and allowing a .530 xSLG. Load up on this bet, as it should be closer to -200 instead of -141.
Carlos Carrasco Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-161)
Carrasco was a great bet last time out, and his stuff was very good. However, he had a long first inning and was not allowed to go deep enough to get the strikeouts necessary. He is once again facing a Marlins team that only has two batters striking out less than 20%. This is another great spot to leverage a weak lineup into a winning bet, and bettors should be taking advantage of these spots.
Ryan McMahon to Hit a Home Run (+600)
Logan Webb has been fantastic at slowing down opposing batters this year. He is a ground-ball pitcher that relies on giving up weak contact. However, tonight he is pitching at Coors Field, where balls that are not hit hard still travel very far. McMahon has had a great season, especially against right-handed pitching. Anyone with such high odds at Coors Field is worth a bet, but McMahon especially so, as he has had an xSLG of .433 and 91 mph exit velocity this season.
