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.
Yusei Kikuchi Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+104, FanDuel)
A quick peek at Kikuchi's recent run has shown some low strikeouts — in two of his four starts, he whiffed a combined eight batters. But, those games weren't against the Rays — they have a 27.6% strikeout rate against southpaws this season. Slam this.
Mike Yastrzemski To Hit a Home Run (+475, FanDuel)
It's been a rough start to begin the season, but Mike Yastrzemski has been hitting the ball with authority as of late. And that's a good sign, as he faces Vince Velasquez — the right-hander has allowed 1.85 HR/9, and lefties have popped him for a .455 slugging percentage this season.
