Monday's Best MLB Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Yoshinobu Yamamoto 6+ Strikeouts (+135)
There's one more game left in the Braves/Dodgers series. The Dodgers haven't been able to get away from the Padres and Diamondbacks in the standings and are only three games up on San Diego. As they get healthy, especially their pitching staff, it will help them during the final stretch of the regular season and playoffs
Yamamoto is back just in time for this push and hopefully he can keep that momentum he had at the start of his rookie season. He was great in his return from the IL, going four scoreless against the Cubs. For this bet, we'll focus on the strikeouts because his strikeout percentage is in the 89th percentile and he is facing Atlanta, which is 23rd in strikeout percentage.
Eugenio Suarez Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (-110)
The reason why the Dodgers are struggling to win the NL West is because the Diamondbacks have one of the best records since the All-Star break, sitting at 34-17.
It’s paid off to be the best offense in that stretch, and their .281 average leads the league in the second half. Eugenio Suarez has been one of the hottest hitters in recent weeks. His 20 hits are the second-most since September 1, and he is batting .455. Today, he faces Antonio Senzatela, against whom he is 3-for-8 in his career, with a double and two home runs.
Paul Skenes Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-120)
The Pirates are not playoff-bound, but their future could be bright. They have a lot of young talent, and if they can build around it, you will be seeing them in October.
Skenes will be exciting to see pitch under the bright lights. He's been living up to the hype, with a 2.10 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. He's faced the Cardinals twice, and in both performances, he had eight strikeouts. He’s a solid lock to do it again.
