MLB Best Bets – Free (Wednesday 7/24)
Josh Gross
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.
Trea Turner, SS, Los Angeles Dodgers
To hit a home run (400, DraftKings Sportsbook)
I am not sure what’s going on with Taijuan Walker — he was absolutely brilliant to start the season, but he has been absolutely tattooed lately. In his last five starts, he’s allowed 23 earned runs and he’s allowed 10 home runs in his last four starts. I think there’s a few homer props to consider, but I love Trea Turner here.

Joe Musgrove, SP, San Diego Padres
Over 6.5 strikeouts (-150, Unibet)
Betting the over on Joe Musgrove has been a winning proposition lately — he’s been a strikeout machine, whiffing 24 batters in his last three outings (20 innings). He’s already dominated Saturday’s opponent (the Diamondbacks) once this season for eight strikeouts — heck, even struggling Blake Snell whiffed 6 Diamondbacks Friday.
