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.
Blake Snell Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-133, BetMGM)
Guys, Blake Snell is not good anymore. I mean, there are some positives here – he sports a greater than 30% strikeout rate on the season. That is good. He also sports a double-digit walk rate, and he gives up a ton of home runs, and is facing a very good offense. Do I think Snell will be amped up for this game? Yes. Do I think he could get rocked? Yes.
Chris Flexen Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-175, DraftKings)
Flexen has been absolutely absurd in his recent run of form. Over the last month, the right-hander has posted a 2.70 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 27 innings, striking out 20. And in his last outing? He tamed the mighty Minnesota offense for eight strikeouts in seven innings. I would see what kind of juice is available in an alternate line here, because these feels like a very solid bet.
