MLB Pitcher Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks
Tarik Skubal UNDER 6.5 strikeouts (+120 DraftKings Sportsbook)
This is definitely a prop worth taking a look at. Skubal has hit this total twice this season, including a nine-strikeout performance against the Astros in his most recent start. He gets a solid matchup in this one against Oakland as they are posting the second-highest K rate against left-handed pitchers over the previous two weeks with a rate of 29.5%.
Frankie Montas OVER 6.5 strikeouts (+100 DraftKings Sportsbook)
Montas is the other arm in the Athletics vs. Tigers game today and he is also at + money. He has reached at least six strikeouts in all but one start this season, yet he has gone over it in just one. That game came against the Texas Rangers who are currently posting the fourth-highest K rate vs. right-handers over the previous two weeks. A team that is even worse than the Rangers, currently, is the Tigers who are posting the third-highest K rate vs. righties with a rate of 28.2% over the previous two weeks.
MLB Hitter Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks
Owen Miller OVER .5 total bases (-200 DraftKings Sportsbook)
In all honesty, you could probably take any Guardians' right-handed bat you want tonight as they are all swinging a hot stick. Miller is posting a 1.009 OPS with nine doubles against right-handed pitching this season. While he will be facing Lucas Giolito, Gio has struggled a bit against righties in 2022 as he has allowed three bombs and paired those with a 4.78 FIP and 1.30 WHIP.
Yandy Diaz OVER 1.5 total bases (+105 DraftKings Sportsbook)
Daiz and the Rays will be facing Reid Detmers and the Angels tonight. Detmers has struggled vs. right-handed hitters as he allowed three dingers to go along with a 5.26 FIP and 1.50 WHIP. Diaz has returned to form and is putting up solid numbers vs. left-handed pitching this season as noted by his .848 OPS. Diaz will likely be leading off tonight as well, which means a possible extra opportunity or two.
