Best MLB Prop Bets Today

Reds vs. Pirates, 1:35PM ET

BET: Bryan Reynolds 1+ HR (+440)

The total is set at a modest 8.5 runs by the sportsbooks for this one, but given the recent form of both pitchers Mike Minor (1-10, 6.31 ERA) and Zach Thompson (3-9, 5.51 ERA), it wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility to expect a healthy amount of dingers in Pittsburgh this afternoon. We like the form of Bryan Reynolds here, who has hit 3 home runs in his past four games, including a 2-homer game against the Sox earlier this week. He's a tantalizing price for bettors. Our MLB model has identified Matt Olson as being the biggest threat.

Astros vs. Braves, 1:35PM ET

BET: Matt Olson 1+ HR (+280)

It was a weird night for Atlanta last night. While they were able to get the win over Houston, they did it with the top 4 batters in their order, Acuna, Olson, Riley and Swanson, combinbing for just one hit in total. A down night is an ominous signal for the Astros who will be sending out their most costly pitcher in terms of home runs given up in José Urquidy (11-4, 3.68 ERA). Urquidy leads all pitchers in the Houston rotation with 20 home runs given up this season. Could the Braves hitters be due a big day?
