MLB Prop Bet of the Day
Trent Grisham OVER .5 runs at Pittsburgh (-149, BetMGM)
(NOTE: With Grisham out of the lineup, Jake Cronenworth, slotted in the leadoff spot, to score a run at -128 (1.28 risk) is the replacement.)
Since the sweet-stroking lefty’s return to the leadoff spot on April 9, he’s collected a run and a hit in each of three games logged, including a pair of long balls. Most projection services have Grisham eventually leveling off into the .240-.250 batting average range with an on-base percentage approaching .350. Still, tailing his early sizzling streak is a wise proposition. His high walks yield and 20-homer power offer encouragement to make a confident wager. So does the matchup. Journeyman Trevor Cahill is on the bump for the Buccos, a soft-tossing righty who served up grapefruits to Cincinnati in his opening turn (4 IP, 7 ER, 9 H, 2 BB, 4 K). In Game 1 of the series, expect Grisham to earn all the pierogies at PNC.
