What are Player Prop Bets?
Player prop bets, often called “props,” focus on individual players' actions rather than the overall game result. They're popular in various sports, especially in baseball. In the MLB, these bets zoom in on specific player achievements such as hits, strikeouts, home runs, etc.
Logan Allen U 4.5 Strikeouts (-150) (DraftKings) | Player Prop
The first player prop catching our attention is Logan Allen under 3.5 strikeouts.
Allen has gone under this line in 63% of games this season, including six of the last eight games.
Tonight, Allen faces the Royals, who rank 2nd for least team strikeouts recorded per game.
Furthermore, Allen faced the Royals earlier this season and only recorded three strikeouts.
Given these factors, we strongly favor the under for tonight.

Edward Cabrera O 5.5 Strikeouts (-150) (Caesars) | Player Prop
Our second player prop for today's games is Edwards Cabrera over 5.5 strikeouts.
Cabrera has gone over this line in both games against the Rockies from the last two seasons, including a 9 strikeout performance against Colorado this season.
The Rockies also record the 2nd most strikeouts per game in the league and Cabrera has thrived against similarly ranked opponents this season.
Miami’s ace has cleared this line in four of five games against teams that rank in the top ten for strikeouts recorded per game.
Given these factors, we favor his over for tonight
Bailey Ober O 5.5 Strikeouts (-160) (DraftKings) | Player Prop
The last player prop for tonight’s games is Bailey Ober over 5.5 strikeouts.
Ober has gone over this line in seven of the last ten games.
Furthermore, when looking at this, in the three games where he went under, he faced the Padres (1st), Rangers (8th), and Phillies (13th), all of whom rank in the top half of the league for fewest strikeouts recorded per game.
Tonight, Ober faces the Braves, who rank 25th.
Against similarly ranked opponents this season, Ober has gone over this line in 78% of games.
Given these factors, we’re liking the over for tonight.
Two-leg Same Game Parlay (+120) (DraftKings)
Last but not least, it wouldn't be a Hall of Fame Bets blog post without utilizing the Parlay Optimizer to build a parlay for tonight’s slate. This parlay consists of these two legs from DraftKings:
This parlay hit in the last head-to-head game for each pitcher: Ragans had 6 strikeouts against the Guardians and Repiot had 8 strikeouts against the Mariners earlier this season.
With DraftKings offering it at +120 odds, the value presented makes this parlay too enticing to pass up.
