I went 0/2 in my MLB player props yesterday, so I'm digging into some different props for Wednesday. I'm heading to the strikeout and RBI markets for my two picks today.
Check out my two MLB player props for June 26th:
June 26th MLB Strikeout Prop: Reynaldo Lopez Over 5.5 Ks
Braves vs Cardinals Matchup Preview - Game Time: 1:46 pm ET
Reynaldo Lopez is on quite the season-long heater. The Braves righty has a pristine 1.57 ERA on the year and is striking out the world, too.
In his last four starts, Lopez has struck out at least six batters and racked up 29 total Ks in the four outings. So, why is his strikeout line only O/U 5.5 today?
It’s not like the Cardinals are good at avoiding strikeouts, they have the 13th-highest strikeout rate in baseball (22.8%). And it’s not like the St. Louis offense is hot either, as the Cards have MLB’s 21st-ranked OBP over the last month.
I don’t really get this line, give me the K over with ease.
June 26th MLB RBI Prop: Aaron Judge Over 0.5 RBI (-115)
Yankees vs Mets Matchup Preview - Game Time: 7:11 pm ET
Aaron Judge is unreal at baseball, but you already know that.
The Yankees slugger has three homers and 11 RBI in his last five games. Judge current leads baseball in both homers and RBI, and all he has to do tonight to cash this bet is drive in one measly run.
Judge has had historical success against tonight’s opposition, Mets starter Sean Manaea. In 12 career at-bats against Manaea, Judge has five hits, two homers, and six RBI.
Judge is averaging almost an RBI per game this season, so I think it's a safe bet he can get one tonight, even if I think the Mets are going to win.
