Saturday’s Best MLB Player Props
Bailey Ober Under 4.5 Hits Allowed (-135 at Fanatics Sportsbook)
Teams are hitting .248 against Bailey Ober this season, but just .223 when he's pitching at home. He has gone under 4.5 hits allowed in four of his last five starts and faced a Texas team hitting just .182 over the last week. As long as he doesn't go deep into the game, it is highly unlikely he will give up more than four hits to the Rangers.
Walker Buehler Over 4.5 Hits Allowed (-105 at Fanatics Sportsbook)
Walker Buehler has gone over this number in just four of his last six outings. Teams have hit .255 against him this season and .237 when he's pitching at home. But the Diamondbacks are playing for a playoff spot. To that end, they have been one of the hottest-hitting teams in baseball over the last week (.308 batting average).
Against this Diamondbacks team, Buehler will go over this total as long as he doesn't get pulled early (before the fifth inning).
Jose Altuve Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110 at DraftKings Sportsbook)
Houston is in control of its own destiny at this point; all it has to do is beat a team that it should beat. To that end, the Astros will look to their best players, like Jose Altuve, to lead the way. He has been held hitless over his last two outings. But he has multi-hit games in his previous four and has hit safely in his previous seven.
Sutter Health Park is one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in the league. The Athletics are starting a very hittable pitcher in Jack Perkins (1-7 at home, 7.05 ERA, .286 opponents’ batting average). Altuve is 1-for-5 against Perkins this season, but with the team's postseason fate on the line, I'll bet on one of the team's best players to do his part.
Jack Perkins Over 5.5 Hits Allowed (+108 at DraftKings Sportsbook)
Jack Perkins has been solid on the road this season, but has allowed seven, four, nine and 12 hits in his last four home starts. As long as he doesn't get pulled early, Houston will get at least six hits off of him.
