Best MLB Prop Bets Record to Date

  • MLB Best Prop Bets Record: 51-48-0 

Here are the plays our team is eyeing for tonight’s slate with odds coming from WynnBET and consensus lines. 

Best MLB Prop Bets Today

  • Yu Darvish OVER 6.5 Strikeouts (+120)
  • Max Scherzer OVER 7.5 Strikeouts (-105)
  • Max Scherzer OVER 7.5 Strikeouts (-105)

Yu Darvish OVER 6.5 Strikeouts (+120)

This is a great matchup for Darvish. The Braves strikeout at the second-highest rate in the Majors. Darvish has missed this line in the last two games, which is giving us a lot of value today. Outside of a terrible start against the Giants, Darvish has gone at least six innings in each one of his starts. The volume is there with Darvish and the matchup is presenting itself as well. All he needs to do is capitalize. – Donnavan Smoot

Max Scherzer OVER 7.5 Strikeouts (-105)

Max Scherzer is still the same Max Scherzer we've grown to love. He has a strikeout rate this season of 11.9, up 0.1 from last season. He's surpassed 7.5 strikeouts in three of his last four starts, including back-to-back 10 strikeout performances against the Giants and Cardinals in April. Now he gets to face a Mariners team who has been trending in the wrong direction in the strikeout department. Over their last three games, the Mariners have struck out on 28.8% of at bats, which is the third worst mark in the Majors over that stretch. I'll back Scherzer to get at least eight Ks tonight.. – Iain MacMillan

Max Scherzer OVER 7.5 Strikeouts (-105)

Scherzer has punched out at least 6 in every start this season, striking out 10 or more in a pair of them. Now, he'll face a Mariners team that will be overpowered at the dish. The team is 19th in batting average this season and will struggle to keep up with the Mets standout all game long. Scherzer has shown an ability to go deep into games (he has pitched 6 innings or more in all but 1 of his 6 starts), which will give him plenty of opportunities to clear this + money strikeout total. – Reed Wallach
