Welcome to the daily MLB player props picks! We’re looking at some of the most enticing player props and diving into why we like the picks.
Brayan Bello O 4.5 Strikeouts -136
Brayan Bello has come on strong for the Red Sox this season. In his last seven starts, Bello has an impressive 2.22 ERA and .99 WHIP, and has also struck out at least five batters in four of his last six starts. Bello is matched up against the Chicago Cubs tonight, who tend to swing and miss a lot. Chicago is also ranked fourth in the National League in strikeouts. This matchup should help Bello hit the over.
Francisco Lindor O 1.5 Total Bases +130
Francisco Lindor really caught fire prior to the All-Star break, hitting .339 with five home runs in his last 15 games. Lindor will also see Dodgers’ left-hander Julio Urías; this is perfect for Lindor as he is much better at hitting against lefties. Lindor has a .828 OPS and eight of his 19 home runs have been off left-handers. Not to mention that last season, Lindor was at his best in July, hitting .320 with a .933 OPS. Urías has struggled lately and has a 5.79 ERA in his last seven starts.
Elly De La Cruz O 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs -150
Elly De La Cruz has been fantastic since being called up. In his last seven games leading up to the All-Star break, De La Cruz was red-hot and hit .467 with 14 hits, and also scored seven runs over that span.
If you’re feeling just as confident, parlay all these picks at +501. This would be a nice payout if all of these picks cash. Either way, best of luck to all tonight and hopefully we win some money.
