Today’s Best MLB Player Props & Bets: Padres vs. Brewers
Here are the best MLB player prop bets for today’s game Padres vs. Brewers.
San Diego Padres vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Robert Gasser is starting for the Milwaukee Brewers, which means Taylor should start for San Diego. Taylor only started on Tuesday night because Gavin Sheets was a late scratch. That was his first start against a right-handed pitcher in nearly two weeks. Even if Sheets remains unavailable, Dustin Harris is likely to replace Taylor once Milwaukee moves to a right-handed pitcher.
Gasser has not pitched in nearly two weeks himself, and there is no guarantee he goes deep into this ballgame. He faced 20 or fewer hitters in four of five September outings. Taylor could get only one or two plate appearances in this game.
And while Taylor has a solid batting average, Gasser does not allow many hits. The left-hander faced 105 hitters in September and only permitted 13 base hits. I am willing to take the chance that he can keep Taylor off the stat sheet in this game. Therefore, I am taking the Under on Samad Taylor's hits and total bases numbers in Wednesday's nightcap.
