Today’s Best MLB Player Props & Bets: White Sox vs. Guardians
Here are the best MLB player prop bets for today’s game White Sox vs. Guardians.
Chicago White Sox vs. Cleveland Guardians
Miguel Vargas had great numbers against Cleveland in the regular season, posting a .424 on-base percentage (OBP) with six extra-base hits and 10 RBI. He is the only White Sox hitter to have homered off Daniel Espino (in a small two-at-bat sample), and both of his hits against Joey Cantillo in six at-bats were extra-base hits.
Vargas turned in his first career 30-homer season. He and Colson Montgomery were the first White Sox teammates to hit 30+ home runs in the same year since Jose Abreu and Eloy Jimenez in 2019.
They were also the first set of teammates to reach that milestone this season, marking just the second time in franchise history that White Sox teammates were the first to reach 30 home runs in the Majors (joining Jermaine Dye and Jim Thome in 2006).
