Astros' Yordan Alvarez Over 0.5 HR vs. Guardians (+230, BetMGM)
We cashed two of our three offensive props yesterday, with Marcell Ozuna grabbing us an RBI and Ronald Acuna getting 2+ total bases. Unfortunately, Rafael Devers couldn't homer for the sweep, even if he did have a pretty good day at the plate. Today, on a really terrible six-game MLB slate that doesn't have much value, we are going to be backing one man for all three props.
I expect that Alvarez is going to have a great night at the plate tonight taking on Cleveland's LHP Logan Allen, who has struggled a lot this season so far. He owns a 4.38 xERA and 4.36 xFIP, and with those numbers being so close to each other, the picture is much more clear about the kind of pitcher he is. At best, Allen is a below-average pitcher, and the Astros should feast on him tonight.
Alvarez is batting .254 with seven home runs and 18 RBI so far this season, as well as a .781 OPS. Now, that is his overall stats against everyone he has faced, but today he is facing a left-handed pitcher. He's been FAR better against left-handers, which makes sense considering he is a righty at the plate. Alvarez is batting .341 with three of his seven homers in just 44 at-bats against lefties.
Need some RBI props for today's games? We have you covered, check out our favorite RBI prop bets.
Astros' Yordan Alvarez Over 0.5 RBI vs Guardians (+105, DraftKings)
As I just mentioned, Alvarez has been just destroying lefties, and I think this is a really good price for him to pick up an RBI tonight at +105. He bats in the heart of the order, which is the most likely spot to pick up an RBI, and his teammates who are batting in front of him have also been great against left-handed pitching.
In fact, the Astros as a team own a massive 123 wRC+ vs. left-handers, which is ranked sixth in baseball. I expect them to put up a good number of runs here on a very average pitcher like Allen, and that means more people are going to be on base for more RBI chances.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez Over 1.5 TB vs. Guardians (-113, Caesars)
Again, this just goes with everything else I have said about this matchup. I like this price of -113 at Caesars, as most other places have this at -115, so we are getting a couple of cents off with them. Every little bit helps, and as I always preach, shop around for the best price whenever you are going to place a bet.
We are on different types of MLB player prop bets every day during the season, so in this pitching prop section you may find strikeout prop bets, earned runs allowed prop bets, total outs recorded bets and more as the season progresses and we gather more data on these pitchers. If it is an MLB prop bet about the big man on the hill you will find it here!

Marlins RHP Edward Cabrera Over 6.5 Strikeouts vs. Rockies (-120, BetRivers)
Once again, we go 1-1 on these strikeout props, but since both were plus money, we still made a little profit. Joe Musgrove went over 6.5 Ks with nine of them yesterday against the awful Reds offense, which cashed at +122. Let's see if we can hit another over today by taking Cabrera to go over his 6.5 line, but this time at a -120 price. I still think this is a good price, and we are getting a discount at BetRivers, as Caesars has this as high as -157 right now.
While Cabrera has struggled this year to keep runs from scoring, he has been a strikeout machine, with 21 strikeouts in 15.1 innings of work. He has some nasty stuff, and he should be able to flaunt it against this Rockies lineup. Colorado has been terrible against righties, owning a 78 wRC+ as a lineup and batting just .239.
They also have the fourth-highest strikeout rate in baseball against them, getting rung up on 27.3% of their at-bats.
Guardians LHP Logan Allen Under 3.5 Strikeouts at Astros (+126, FanDuel)
This is the bet we lost yesterday, taking Shota Imanaga under 4.5 strikeouts for +130. He ended up flying over that total with seven of them, and my reasoning was that the Mets previously had the lowest strikeout rate in the league against lefties. They don't hold that spot anymore after that performance, but the Astros now do.
They get to take on Allen, who is nothing more than a below-average arm with a 4.36 xFIP. Houston has been crushing left-handers, owning a massive 123 wRC+, and I think they can rock him tonight. This is a low number, but I like the price here at FanDuel of +126.

MLB player props add an exciting layer to baseball betting by letting you wager on individual player performance, not just the game's outcome. Imagine you think a hitter is due for a big night – you can bet on whether they'll have more than a certain number of hits, RBIs (Runs Batted In), or even home runs. Pitchers get in on the action too, with props on strikeouts, walks, or innings pitched. These bets are typically presented in an "Over/Under" format, so you wager on whether the player's stat will be higher (Over) or lower (Under) than the number set by the sportsbook.
Example: You log on to DraftKings Sportsbook and go to an MLB game between the Cubs and White Sox. Scrolling to the player props tab, you'll see all kinds of props for you to bet on in the game. You consult this page and find that you really like a best bet on Luis Robert to get 2+ hits at -110 odds. If Robert is able to get two hits in the game of any kind, you win the bet!
You can place these bets at any sportsbook of your choosing, but we recommend using whatever book gives you the best number. If one book is offering -120, while the other is offering -110 and you want to bet it, always take the -110.

MLB player props, short for "proposition bets," are wagers in baseball that focus on the performance of individual players, separate from the final outcome of the game. Instead of betting on which team wins, you can predict a player's statistical output in various categories.
These bets are usually offered in an "Over/Under" format. You wager on whether a player's stat will be higher (Over) or lower (Under) than the number the sportsbook sets.
The most popular MLB prop bets fall into two categories: hitting and pitching.
For hitters, fans love to chase the thrill of the long ball, making home run props the most popular. You can bet on a player to hit zero, one, or even two or more home runs in a game.
Following closely behind are strikeout props for pitchers. Here, you bet on whether a pitcher will record more (Over) or less (Under) than a specific number of strikeouts during their outing.
