MLB Player Prop Bet Picks

Monday's Best MLB Player Prop Bets

(MLB player prop bet odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Marcus Stroman Under 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-150)

The Yankees are coming in as the hottest team, as their eight-game winning streak leads the league. The lineup has been top-notch, and everyone is hitting, including Aaron Judge, who struggled at the start of the season. 

The starting rotation has also been impressive, including Marcus Stroman in his first season with the club. He will face the Mariners, whose offense has regressed from last season. They are 26th in runs per game and last in strikeout rate. Seattle's lineup is hitting just .161 off Stroman, so look for another impressive outing.


Mark Canha Over 1.5 Runs + Hits +RBI (-155)

The Tigers started the season well, but they've started to regress recently, going 5-10 in their last 15. No one side has been terrible, it's just neither has picked each other up in most games. 

Mark Canha has had an up-and-down season, but when he's been hot, he's been able to consistently hit. He's coming in hitting .286 and has a hit in seven of his last nine games. Canha will face Michael Wacha, who he is 3-for-9 with a double against.


Tanner Houck Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+100)

The Red Sox are another team that started off playing well but started to dip in the standings. They are coming into this game having lost six of their last 11. In a tough American League East, they might be a lost cause. 

Tanner Houck has been one of Boston's better starters as his 2.17 ERA is ninth and 1.02 WHIP is 18th. Houck has a solid history against the Rays, but you should like the 30.3% strikeout rate against a team that's 24th in strikeouts this season.
