Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Mets vs. Dodgers (4:08 PM, EST)

Mookie Betts Over 1.5 Total Bases (+130) at bet365

The Mets are starting lefty Sean Manaea in Game 2 to hopefully contain Shohei Ohtani and Freddy Freeman. But that should give Betts an edge, especially since he has five his, including three extra-base hits, over his last four games. Betts also has a good history against Manaea, going 10 for 32 (.313) with seven extra-base hits against him. While Betts didn’t showcase as much power against lefties this year, he hit .308 during the season against southpaws, giving him multiple avenues to go over 1.5 total bases. 

Enrique Hernandez Under 0.5 Hits (-110) at bet365

Hernandez has been huge for the Dodgers in recent days. His home run in Game 5 of the NLDS was massive, but he’s also 5 for 11 over his last three games. However, such productivity is a little out of character for a player who hit just .229 during the regular season. He’s due to come back down to earth moving forward. That’s likely to happen in Game 2 with Manaea being 1 for 11 in his career against Manaea. Hernandez could also come out of the game once the Mets go to their righty-heavy bullpen, limiting his chances of getting a hit.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Guardians vs. Yankees (8:08 PM, EST)

Juan Soto Over 2+ Total Bases (+135) at bet365

Soto has gone quiet since getting three hits in Game 1 of the ALDS. He’s just 1 for 9 over the last three games. However, he has crushed Cleveland’s Alex Cobb in his career, going 7 for 11 (.636) with three extra-base hits. It’s a small sample but enough to showcase Soto’s dominance over Cobb, who isn’t exactly expected to dominate Game 1, making Soto an excellent hitter to target.

Alex Verdugo Over 0.5 Hits (-130) at bet365

Verdugo is a surprising member of the Yankees who is worth targeting in Game 1. He also has a strong history against Cobb, going 3 for 7 (.429) with a pair of doubles. Obviously, that sample is even smaller than Soto’s sample. But Verdugo did go 2 for 3 for the Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS following a long layoff. He’ll be in a similar position on Monday with the Yankees having three days off. For what it’s worth, Verdugo is also a combined 2 for 7 against Eli Morgan and Emmanuel Clase, two pitchers the Yankees could see late in this game. That should increase Verdugo’s chances of getting at least one hit.

Jose Ramirez Over 0.5 Walks (+170) at bet365

Ramirez certainly won’t be looking to take any walks. He’s in Cleveland’s lineup to do some damage. However, he was just 3 for 16 (.188) during the ALDS. Yet, Ramirez drew a walk in three of those five games. He’s also just 10 for 43 (.233) against New York starter Carlos Rodon, although he’s drawn seven career walks against the lefty. Despite the heroics of Lane Thomas during the ALDS, he’s just 1 for 5 against Rodon, who may have no problem being careful with Ramirez and taking his chances against Thomas. Given the odds, that’s enough to bet on Ramirez to draw a walk in Game 5.
