Best MLB Prop Bets Today

Cubs vs. Nationals, 7:05PM ET

BET: Willson Contreras 1+ HR (+290)

Ian Happ was the Cubs man on fire last night with two home runs which meant we failed in our quest to cash Contreras, but sometimes you just have to run it back. That is especially true when you get another pitching matchup such as this. Patrick Corbin (4-16, 7.02 ERA) will be on the bump for the Nats tonight. He's given up 21 dingers to opponents from 23 starts and is another tempting prospect to attack. Willson might not have hit for the fences last night, but that doesn't mean it isn't coming.

Red Sox vs. Pirates, 7:05PM ET

BET: Bryan Reynolds 1+ HR (+420)

Starting Sox pitcher Nick Pivetta (8-9, 4.51 ERA) has been in something of a slump over the past month or so, and he's been leaking homers with at least one or more long ball given up in five of his last six games. A fast start for the Pirates tonight will give them a legitimate chance to cause an upset, and Bryan Reynolds is one man in form who could get it going. Reynolds has been batting at a .313 avg over the past two weeks with two home runs and only 8 strikeouts in his last 48 ABs. He swings, and that's all we want. Swing, Bryan, swing!
