MLB Pitcher Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks
Yu Darvish OVER 5.5 strikeouts (-160 DraftKings Sportsbook)
There is definitely some juice on this prop, but it comes with good reason. Darvish struck out eight Braves in his previous start against them back on April 17th, which is the most he has struck out in any performance all season. The Braves have also been struggling against right-handers lately as they are posting a K rate of 26.1% over the previous two weeks, which ranks sixth-worst in baseball over that span.
Pablo Lopez OVER 5.5 strikeouts (-130 DraftKings Sportsbook)
Lopez has a solid matchup Friday night and he will be entering the game hot as he has gone over 5.5 strikeouts in three of his previous four starts and four of six total starts to begin the season. He will be facing the Brewers who have posted a K rate of nearly 25% vs. right-handers over the previous two weeks, which ranks 10th-worst in baseball across that span.
Jordan Hicks UNDER 4.5 strikeouts (-170 DraftKings Sportsbook)
Hicks has been solid to begin 2022, but he has yet to eclipse 70 pitches in any of his appearances and has gone over this prop in just one start on the young season. The matchup won't be easy in this one, either, as the Giants are posting a K rate of just 17.3% vs. righties over the previous two weeks, which ranks third-best in baseball over that span. They are also posting a superb walk rate of 12.2% and a wRC+ mark of 113, which should make things incredibly challenging for Hicks.
MLB Hitter Prop Bets - Today's Betting Picks
Pete Alonso OVER .5 home runs (+310 DraftKings Sportsbook)
Let's take a shot here on Alonso. Marco Gonzales has allowed a total of five bombs and a 6.50 FIP to right-handed hitters this season. While Alonso has only hit one dinger off lefties thus far in 2022, he managed to swat a solid 16 bombs against left-handed pitchers in 2021.
Austin Meadows OVER 1.5 total bases (+100 DraftKings Sportsbook)
I am going to take another shot against Jordan Lyles as we missed out last Friday when his game got rained out. He has struggled against left-handed hitters in 2022 as he has given up three home runs and posted a 6.6o FIP and 1.50 WHIP. Meanwhile, Meadows has gotten into a groove with his new team and now has a .784 OPS vs. right-handed pitchers.
