Monday’s Best MLB Player Props
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Ronald Acuna Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases (-115)
The Braves were the best team in the league and became only the third team in MLB history to be shut out in their first playoff game after finishing with the best record. Ronald Acuna Jr. is very likely your National League MVP, and after a 0-for-3 performance in Game 1, he will need to step up so the Braves will not see an 0-2 hole. He'll face Zack Wheeler, who he has seen a lot in his career. In his 12 hits against Wheeler, he has four doubles and four home runs.
Will Smith Over 1.5 Total Bases (+115)
Will Smith was one of the few Dodgers to see success in Game 1 with two hits, including a two-RBI triple. He's been hot the last few weeks, with a hit in seven of the last nine games. He's seen plenty of his division rival Zac Gallen and is 6-for-16 with a double and a triple.
Max Fried Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-125)
Max Fried will be the starter that Atlanta depends on to avoid going to Philadelphia for an elimination game. In his last start against the Phillies, he went five innings, allowed one earned and struck out six. This is an excellent opportunity to target a strikeout total that's set too low. He's been able to get some of the Phillies’ best hitters leaving empty-handed, with players like J.T. Realmuto, Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber all having a 25% or higher strikeout rate against Fried.
