Monday's Best MLB Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Marcell Ozuna Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (-150)
The Braves look great early on in the season, as they just took two of three against the Nationals. Now, they host another divisional rival that has not looked good. The Mets started horribly with five straight losses but have improved by winning three of their last four. Julio Tehran will get the start in a revenge game against the Braves, where he spent his first nine seasons.
Atlanta's lineup is looking too good right now. One of those players is Marcell Ozuna, who's been red hot over his last five games, batting .429 with three home runs and seven RBI. He has a lot of experience against Tehan and is 19-of-54 (.353) with three doubles and four home runs.
Jose Berrios Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+105)
The Blue Jays started the season on a 10-game road trip, which didn't go well, as they began 4-6. The offense is 26th with a .198 average, and the pitching is 25th with a 5.09 ERA. They face another team struggling, the Mariners, who have dropped four of the last five games.
Jose Berrios finished last season strong and is doing the same this year with back-to-back quality starts. He doesn't have an extensive history against this lineup, but he does have success, as Seattle's roster is batting .182 against him and has a 32.2% strikeout rate. It’s a great opportunity to take a strikeout total with plus odds against a lineup with the highest strikeout rate this season.
Mookie Betts Over 1.5 Totals Bases (+105)
The Dodgers are coming off their first series loss of the season against the Cubs and now head into Minneapolis. Their success this season comes from the offense, as they scored under four runs just once and are tops in AVG, SLG and OBP.
They have a few players who are mashing the ball early on, including Mookie Betts, who has 17 hits and is leading the league. Tonight, he faces Bailey Ober, who couldn't get out of the second inning against the Royals before being lit up for eight runs and three home runs.
