Friday’s Best MLB Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
San Diego Padres vs. New York Yankees
It’ll be Joe Musgrove on the mound for the Padres. Musgrove has a 6.06 xFIP over the last 30 days and has allowed 23% of line drives while earning just 29.5% of ground balls in that time frame.
His last 33 righties faced have hit a .481 wOBA and ISO of .345. Musgrove has earned just 15.2% of strikeouts against righties and is giving up more than 29% of line drives in the last 30 days.
Meanwhile, Aaron Judge is a righty, hitting a .521 ISO and wOBA of .544 over his last 63 plate appearances. That’s a large enough sample size for Judge. He’s smashing right-handed pitching right now. Let’s take him to get Over 1.5 total bases. Don’t be surprised if he smashes a home run, either.
Bet: Aaron Judge Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110)
Texas Rangers vs. Baltimore Orioles
Jon Gray will get the call for the Rangers tonight. He currently has a 4.76 xFIP over the last 30 days. During this time, he’s allowed over 28% of line drives and has earned under 35% of ground balls. He’s kept walks down but has only struck out 18.5% of batters.
So far, Gray has kept extra-base hits down against both sides of the plate. But he’s allowing 47.8% of hard contact and taking on an Orioles projected lineup that strikes out only 18.1% of the time against righties over the last 30 days.
There are five batters in the Orioles lineup striking out under 19% of the time against righties. Three of those batters have struck out fewer than 10% of the time against righties in the last month.
Take Gray to go Under 4.5 strikeouts at plus money.
Bet: Jon Gray Under 4.5 Ks (+108)
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves
The Atlanta Braves will give Jared Shuster another shot in the rotation. He’s got a 4.81 xFIP in his last 40 plate appearances. But in those 40 plate appearances, he’s struck out 25% of batters.
The lefty has pitched well against righties. Righties hit a .169 wOBA and ISO of .103 against Shuster over the last month. He’s just struggled a little bit with lefties early on. However, the Phillies should have five righties in the lineup. Philadelphia has also struck out 25.9% of the time against lefties over the last month using their projected lineup.
The Phillies have also hit a .264 wOBA in the last month, which is awful. Philadelphia has five batters striking out at least 30.3% of the time against lefties. I like Shuster’s chances of earning high strikeouts tonight.
Bet: Jared Shuster Over 4.5 Ks (-134)
