Welcome to the prop bet tracker! As MLB season kicks off into full swing, another way to get in on the action is to analyzes the days best prop bets – from strikeouts to home runs, first to five runs to total bases logged.
Each day, we will try and identify a few picks that are ready to explode in the prop market.
Rafael Devers To Hit a Home Run (+400 DraftKings)
I guess I am the last person on earth to love Red Sox hitters. Yup, super legit. How? Let’s try second-best in run differential so far in baseball. And the opposing pitcher? Justin Dunn. Platoon advantage, tough rake with a .464 slugging percentage against opposing bats this season. Devers has been hot recently at the dish, and I like him here.
Joey Lucchesi Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-125 BetRivers)
Friends, I like Joey Lucchesi. He’s a St. Louis native. He pitched at Southeastern Missouri State. But let’s be real. He sucks. Hard. The Cubs offense may be warming – and no, this isn’t overreaction theater with the Cubs' 16-run outburst yesterday. It’s a legit offense. Stay away from Lucchesi.
Walker Buehler Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-125 MGMBet)
I loved this right-hander. So much so, in some season-long teams a year ago, I fully freaking invested in Buehler. He was legit! And he owns a sub-3.00 ERA as a major league pitcher. The Padres offense can certainly cook. But, Fernando Tatis is not right, and this is a smash spot. Take the over.
