Best MLB Prop Bets Today

• Luis Garcia OVER 4.5 strikeouts (+125)
• Yu Darvish OVER 5.5 K's (-155) vs. Giants
• Minnesota Twins Team Total OVER 3.5 Runs (-145)

Luis Garcia OVER 4.5 strikeouts (+125)

This is Garcia’s season debut, and we’re getting a lot of value at this price. Garcia pitched at least 2 innings in 29 of his 30 starts last season. In those games, he cleared this line 23 times. He cleared this line at a 79% rate. The fact that this number is so low and we get plus money on it, makes it nearly impossible to skip out on. -- Donnavan Smoot

Yu Darvish OVER 5.5 K's (-155) vs. Giants

Darvish's projected strikeout total comes at a slight discount tonight vs. a Giants team that's punching out more than a quarter of the time (7th-highest in MLB). He also only struck out three batters in six no-hit innings the last time out, leading the models in Vegas to perhaps move a little too low.

Darvish had nasty stuff Opening Night vs. the Diamondbacks, but had four walks in the process, causing Arizona to let him pitch into deep counts despite not giving up a hit.

Expect the Giants to be a little more free-swinging tonight, and Darvish to get the K-rate a little higher. -- Ben Heisler

Minnesota Twins Team Total OVER 3.5 Runs (-145)

The Minnesota Twins are taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers and starter Andrew Heaney on Tuesday night, and I’m expecting some fireworks from Minnesota’s offense.

Heaney is downright awful, as he posted a 5.83 earned run average last season and allowed 29 home runs in 30 appearances (23 starts). He also got rocked in Spring Training, allowing 10 runs in just 5.1 innings.

I’ll fade him all the way by taking the Twins team total tonight. -- Peter Dewey
