NBA Postseason Best Bets (5/17)
Alex Christenson
Each day, we will try to highlight or outline our favorite prop bets of the day over at FTN Network. Take a look at Saturday’s picks.
Mets at Brewers under 7.5 runs
(-115, DraftKings)
This matchup just seems too delectable to ignore. Shockingly, in Rich Hill‘s 10 starts as a Met, the under has gone 8-1-1. Oh, and the opposing hurler? Try Corbin Burnes, who’s likely to win the NL Cy Young award. The Mets have been a bad offense all season, and I wouldn’t expect them to explode tonight.
Framber Valdez over 4.5 strikeouts
(+110, DraftKings)
Finding the sinker-baller here is normally not a strikeout total we target. I get it; and a dude who generates 70% groundballs is kind of whacky. But he pitches deep into games, he’s averaging over six innings per start and he’s whiffed five batters in eight of his last 10 outings. Assuming he keeps spinning that beautiful curve, this should hit.
