MLB Player Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Predictions: Yankees vs. Angels
Mike Trout Over 1.5 Total Bases (+135)
New York Yankees vs. LA Angels 9:38 pm ET
Much of the Angels lineup does not have great numbers against Gerrit Cole, and that does include Mike Trout. Trout is hitting just .278 off Cole, with one of his five hits being a homer. However, Trout is due to hit Cole hard as his xBA over 18 at-bats is .404, and his xSLG is .583. Also, we know Cole’s tendency to give up the long ball, so it would not surprise me to see Trout take him deep once again. At plus money, this is a great positive regression spot for Trout.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
