There’s nothing better than playoff baseball!
Game 1 of the ALDS between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays is set for tonight, and the only thing that will make the game even more exciting is betting on a few prop bets.
The Rays are set as favorites in the game, but in this article, it’s all about the props.
Here are my top three best prop bets for tonight’s ALDS Game 1.
Shane McClanahan OVER 4.5 Strikeouts -105
The rookie arm will be making the first postseason start of his career and I’ll be backing the over on his strikeout total at 4.5. He’s averaging 10.9 strikeouts per nine innings and he’s had some solid starts against the Red Sox this season.
He reached at least seven strikeouts in two of his three starts against Boston this season, so cashing this bet is not out of reach. The Red Sox are 11th in strikeout percentage in MLB this season, striking out in 22.7% plate appearances.
Rafael Devers to Hit a Home Run +375
No one has hit more home runs this season than Rafael Devers. He’s totalled 38 in 2021, but yet his odds are still at a great price at +375. Thos odds are longer than Mike Zunino, Kyle Schrawrber, Hunter Renfroe, Nelson Cruz and Enrique Hernandez.
If you’re looking for a home run prop, there’s nobody better for today’s game than Rafael Devers at +375.
Tampa Bay Rays OVER 4 Runs -130
Dating back to Aug. 1 no team in Major League Baseball has scored more runs than the Rays at 329.
The last time the Rays faced Eduardo Rodriguez, he gave up eight hits and six earned runs and they scored 12 total runs by the time the game was over. If they have any level of success even close to that, they will hit the over on their team total with ease.
Don't forget that it's also football season!
