Best MLB Prop Bets Today (8/18/21)


Wednesday is a full slate of games and there are plenty of MLB prop bets that have value. Let’s take a look at the best MLB prop bets to make your Wednesday night a winning one. 

Boston Red Sox -2.5 (+200)

For some reason, the New York Yankees have decided that sending Andrew Heaney back out to the mound is a good decision. In Heaney’s last start against the Chicago White Sox, he gave up seven runs in five innings. In each of Heaney’s last three starts, he has given up four runs total. The Red Sox are going to win this game in blowout fashion. Back the Red Sox -2.5.

Tyler Mahle over 6.5 strikeouts (-120)

Tyler Mahle is going to have another impressive start in this game. Two starts ago, Mahle finished with ten strikeouts and in the last game, he finished with seven strikeouts. The Cubs are going to struggle against Mahle, and he will finish with at least seven strikeouts. 

Colorado Rockies over 6.5 runs (+100)

The Colorado Rockies offense is going to be impressive in this game against the San Diego Padres. Jake Arrieta gets the start for the Padres and he has been awful this season sitting with an ERA of 6.88. The Rockies are going to run up the score and it wouldn’t be shocking if they reached 10 runs. 

Cleveland Indians first five innings ML (+115)

The Cleveland Indians are going to find success in this game early against Lewis Thorpe. Thorpe is getting called back up from the minors to make this start, and I don’t think he is going to be great. The Indians are going to do enough to win the first five innings.
