Painting Corners: Best MLB Prop Bets Today

  • Michael Conforto OVER 0.5 Bases
  • Paul Goldschmidt UNDER 0.5 Hits
  • Dylan Cease UNDER 7.5 Strikeouts

Michael Conforto OVER 0.5 Bases

Washington Nationals’ starter Patrick Corbin’s struggles have continued just two starts into his 2024 campaign. The left-hander has allowed four earned in each outing, combining for just 10 ⅓ innings of work (6.97 ERA) 

Right-handed hitters are batting .500 against Corbin this season and he’ll face a Giants lineup that is collectively hitting .309 against him in his long career. No one has had more success against Corbin than Michael Conforto, who is 10-for-31 with seven extra-base hits (two doubles, five home runs) and 12 RBI. 

Conforto has gone hitless in his last three games but did draw a pair of walks in that stretch. He has a great chance to get back on track against a struggling hurler he’s rocked in his career. 

Paul Goldschmidt UNDER 0.5 Hits

Goldschmidt is hitting just .182 this season with just one multi-hit performance (3-for-4 on Opening Day). Goldschmidt is just 1-for-15 over the last four games combined for a St. Louis offense that is bottom half of the league early on in team batting average and runs scored.

It’s likely Goldschmidt, a seven-time All-Star, will turn his season around, though you shouldn’t count on it to start tonight. The Cardinals face Philadelphia Phillies’ right-hander Aaron Nola, who permitted just two earned over 11 ⅔ innings in two starts against St. Louis last season. 

In his career against Nola, Goldschmidt is just 4-for-29 (.138) with 13 strikeouts. Take a shot with the plus-money payout Goldschmidt throws up another zero in the hit column. 

Dylan Cease UNDER 7.5 strikeouts

Cease has struck out 13 over his first two starts to the season (13 ⅔ innings) and has struck out double-digit batters in two of his last three outings against Chicago. However, Cease hasn’t faced the Cubs in nearly two years and he’ll take the mound against a Chicago lineup Wednesday that includes just one batter (Ian Happ) he’s faced more than four times. 

Cease has racked up a double-digit K/9 rate in each of the last three seasons, but he’ll face a Chicago offense that is No. 9 in the league in team batting average (.264) and is No. 22 in strikeouts.
