Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Twins vs. Orioles (6:35 PM, EST)

Cedric Mullins Over 0.5 Runs (+155) at DraftKings

Mullins has been heating up while the Orioles have a favorable matchup on Monday against Minnesota’s Louie Varland, who has allowed nine runs in nine innings of work this year. Needless to say, Baltimore’s lineup should be able to score some runs on Monday. He even got a hit in a game he didn’t start. With a six-game hitting streak, Mullins should be a part of that. During that six-game hitting streak, Mullins has scored six runs, so we figure he has a good chance of keeping that streak alive.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Pirates vs. Mets (7:10 PM, EST)

Francisco Lindor Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100) at DraftKings

Lindor and the Mets have a tough assignment on Monday against Pittsburgh’s Martin Perez, who owns a 1.89 ERA thus far. But Lindor is 5 for 14 (.357) against Perez in his career, so this is a favorable matchup for him. Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that Lindor is batting just .129 on the season. However, he's showing signs of coming out of his slump with two hits on Sunday and a hit in five of his last seven games. Lindor is also at his best from the right side of the plate, hitting all of his extra-base hits this year against lefties, which is why we decided to back the struggling shortstop.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Braves vs. Astros (8:10 PM, EST)

Jose Altuve Over 0.5 Runs (-140) at DraftKings)

The Astros have gotten hot offensively, scoring at least eight runs in three straight games. Therefore, we’ll target a couple of their stars against the Braves, who are sending unproven starter Darius Vines to the mound. If Houston scores a lot of runs, Altuve is bound to cross the plate at least once. He’s scored 14 runs in 17 games and two runs in back-to-back games. He also has three hits in three of his last four games, so he’s getting on base, allowing his teammates to do the rest.

Yordan Alvarez Over 0.5 RBI (+100) at DraftKings

If Altuve is scoring the runs, it might as well be Alvarez driving him in. Oddly enough, he has no RBI in Houston’s last three games, but that’s been to change because he has 12 RBI in 17 games this season. Alvarez is batting .317 and is always a threat to hit a home run, especially at home. We’d be foolish not to target him against an inexperienced pitcher because he’s the type of hitter a young pitcher doesn’t want to face.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Nationals vs. Dodgers (10:10 PM, EST)

Tyler Glasnow Under 9.5 Strikeouts (-160) at DraftKings)

With 14 strikeouts in his last start, Glasnow’s over/under for strikeouts on Monday has jumped up to 9.5 strikeouts. However, he’s unlikely to come close to matching that number, especially since he’s topped out at seven strikeouts in his other starts. In fact, he’s had a total of just 15 strikeouts in his three other starts. As good as he’s been this year, Glasnow is unlikely to replicate the domination of his previous start, which is why this number is way too high.
