Friday is a full slate of MLB games and that means there is plenty of value across the board in terms of MLB prop bets. Let’s take a look at the best MLB prop bets to make the start of your weekend a winning one.
Keegan Akin over 3.5 strikeouts (-110)
Keegan Akin has been pitching a little better as of late, at least for his standards. In three of his last four starts, Akin has had at least five strikeouts, and in the only game he didn’t reach that number he had three strikeouts. The Boston Red Sox are averaging 8.64 strikeouts per game which is middle of the league. Back Akin over 3.5 strikeouts.
Los Angeles Dodgers over 4.5 runs per game (-125)
The Los Angeles Dodgers are averaging 5.05 runs per game, and they have a nice matchup in this game. Luis Castillo is coming off a start against the St. Louis Cardinals where he gave up four runs. The Dodgers can find another run off the bullpen in the last few innings and the over will cash.
San Diego Padres over 3.5 runs (-145)
The Padres offense finally broke out a little bit in the last game scoring seven runs, and they will continue the offensive success in this game. Miles Mikoas isn’t the same pitcher he was a few years ago sitting with an ERA over five. The Padres will attack him early, and score at least five or six runs.
Milwaukee Brewers -3.5 (+190)
The Chicago Cubs have zero momentum coming into this game after the way they lost on Thursday. After the third inning on Thursday, the Cubs were up 7-0. The pitching staff couldn’t hold up their end of the bargain though, giving up 17 total runs including seven in the 4th and five in the 7th.
