Top 7 MLB Player Props for Tuesday, August 2 (2022)
Let’s look at the top player props, odds, and picks for Tuesday’s MLB action.
Cole Irvin: o/u 3.5 K’s
Cole Irvin is not a high strikeout pitcher but has an advantage tonight as he is going against a struggling Angels team. The Angels are just 7-18 in their last 25 games. Irvin can hold his own, unfortunately he plays for the worst team in the MLB. Irvin has gone at least 5IP in all of his starts this season and has had 4 or more K’s in 8 of his last 10 starts.
The Pick: 3.5 K’s (-160 DraftKings)
Bryse Wilson: o/u 15.5 Outs
It is no secret Bryse Wilson has struggled this season. Wilson is 1-6 with a dreadful 6.31 ERA in 2022. Wilson faces one of the hottest teams in baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers. Over the last 14 days the Brewers rank 3rd in batting average, 1st in SLG%, 1st in ISO, and have the 8th lowest K-Rate.
The Pick: u15.5 outs (-135 DraftKings)
Yu Darvish: To Record a Win
Yu Darvish is a totally different pitcher when he pitches at home. Darvish on the road is 4-3 with a 4.50 ERA.
At home Yu Darvish has been dominant. Darvish is 5-1 with a 1.94 ERA and only allowing opponents to hit .163 against him.
Away from Coors Field, the Rockies rank 25th in wOBA, 28th in ISO, and 22nd in batting average. Darvish at even money to record a win is great value.
The Pick: Yes (+100 DraftKings)
Christian Yelich: o/u 1.5 Total Bases
As we mentioned above, Bryse Wilson is not very good at his job. He is coming into tonight’s start with a 6.31 ERA and has to face one of the hottest lineups in baseball.
Since the All-Star break, Christian Yelich is batting .351 with 13 hits, including 7 doubles, 1 triple and is currently riding a 10-game hit streak.
The Pick: o1.5 Bases (-125 DraftKings)
Jo Adell: o/u 0.5 Hits
Jo Adell has been awful against left-handed pitchers in 2022. Tonight he faces LHP Cole Irvin of the Oakland Athletics. In 43 plate appearances against lefties, Adell is hitting .154 with only six hits and nine strikeouts.
The Pick: u0.5 outs (+135 DraftKings)
Francisco Lindor: o/u 0.5 RBI
I like Lindor to notch at least one RBI in today’s matchup vs. the Nationals. Washington looks to be starting Cory Abbott. Abbott is listed as a relief pitcher and has not started a game this year for the Nationals. This could be an opener situation for Abbott and the Nationals. If Washington has to go to the bullpen early and often, it will not be a great outcome for the Nats. Washington bullpen has the 7th highest ERA and has given up the 5th most HRs in 2022.
The Pick: o0.5 RBI (+130 DraftKings)
Yordan Alvarez: o/u 0.5 HR
Yordan Alvarez and the Astros are going against RHP Kutter Crawford and the Redsox.
Alcarez leads the league in ISO (.401), wOBA (.476), SLG% (.731) and wRC+ (221). Look for Yordan to unleash a 420 ft bomb tonight.
The Pick: o0.5 HR (+230 DraftKings)
