Monday’s Best MLB Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Bobby Witt Jr. Over 2.5 Total Bases (+115)
We're seeing the Royals become contenders after almost a decade of mediocrity. Their strong pitching staff and formidable lineup will help them in the Wild Card race. They also have a chance to win the American League Central.
Bobby Witt Jr. has been a significant contributor to their success. He's one of the hottest hitters in the league, batting .430 in his last 33 games with a hit in 30 of those games.
Ketel Marte Over 2.5 Hits + Runs +RBI (+110)
The Diamondbacks are one of the hottest teams in the league, thanks to a 17-8 record in July. This has helped them get back into the playoff hunt. They went from 11.5 games out of first place in the National League West on July 1st to five games back entering today.
Much of that is because of their offense, as they led the league in on-base percentage (OBP) and were second in batting average in that month. Marte has been a significant contributor with his power. His seven home runs and 18 RBI are the most since July 21st and his 17 hits are eighth.
Patrick Corbin Over 3.5 Earned Runs Allowed (+120)
The Nationals are bad again. They've been one of the worst teams following their 2019 World Series championships. They continue to plan for the future as they were sellers during the trade deadline.
One player they wouldn't be able to give away if they tried is Patrick Corbin. Just like the Nats, he's been awful. Since 2020, he has had the most losses and allowed the most hits and earned runs. He's coming off one of the worst starts of his career, having allowed 10 earned runs against the Diamondbacks. He allowed seven earned to the Giants in a previous start earlier this season.
