MLB Prop Tracker (August 19)

Welcome to the prop bet tracker. As MLB season gets into high gear, another way to get in on the action is to analyze the day’s best prop bets – from strikeouts to home runs, first to five runs to total bases logged.

Each day, we will try to identify a few picks that are ready to explode in the prop market.

Jon Lester over 5.5 hits allowed

(-115, DraftKings Sportsbook)

Look, I get it. It probably gets a bit boring as I just keep picking on and betting against the Cardinals. But keep in mind – they are really bad. Like horrendously bad. And front and center in this is Jon Lester. Why the Cardinals acquired him, I do not know – Lester has been very hittable, posting a 1.62 WHIP and over his last 11 starts, he’s allowed 6 or more hits. Bank on this one.

Justin Turner to hit a home run

(+475, BetMGM)

Man, the New York Mets are fading fast. For my friends that are Mets fans, this was inevitable – it’s the glass-half-empty approach that I have espoused as a St. Louis Blues fan for years. Taijuan Walker has been crushed for a 6.26 ERA over the last month. He’s allowed 11 homers in his last five starts, and righties — not lefties — have given him fits. Bet on success from Justin Turner.
