Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Angels vs. Mariners (4:10 PM, EST)

Emerson Hancock Under 2.5 ER (-160) at bet365 Sportsbook

Based on his 7.71 ERA, Hancock isn’t an ideal target. However, that ERA is inflated because he failed to get out of the first inning of his first start of the season after giving up six runs. But he’s settled down in his last two starts, allowing two runs on five hits in each outing. Hancock is better than what he showed in that first start, so we’re not afraid to trust him after he’s gotten his act together. He also has a favorable matchup on Wednesday against the Angels, who have lost four in a row and six of their last seven games.

In those seven games, the Angels are averaging just two runs per game and have been shut out twice. Also, virtually nobody on the Angels has faced Hancock before, so he should be able to last five or six innings without much damage.

Cade Povich Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-140) at bet365 Sportsbook

Povich has had his ups and downs already this season, which explains his 5.04 ERA. He’s also failed to go beyond four strikeouts in three of his five starts. However, he’s coming off his best start of the season in which he collected five strikeouts.

More importantly, Povich is facing the Yankees, who are second in the majors in strikeouts. Granted, the Yanks are coming off a 15-run outburst on Tuesday. But they are still averaging 9.6 strikeouts per game. Povich is good enough to take advantage of that lack of discipline and manage at least a strikeout per inning.

Gunnar Henderson Over 1.5 Hits/Runs/RBI (-155) at bet365 Sportsbook

The odds for this bet aren’t as lucrative as we might like, especially since Henderson is only batting .227 at the moment. Nevertheless, he’s been heating up lately, making this a safe bet. Henderson has a five-game hitting streak, going over 1.5 hits/runs/RBI in three of his last four games. Another key to the equation is the fact that Henderson is 3 for 5 with a home run in his career against Carlos Carrasco. With a 5.26 ERA, Carrasco could struggle against Baltimore’s lineup.

That will lead to opportunities for Henderson to score runs or drive them in, which is why we’re confident he’ll have another impactful game and hit this bet.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Nationals vs. Phillies (6:45 PM, EST)

CJ Abrams Over 1.5 Hits/Runs/RBI (+110) at bet365 Sportsbook

Abrams is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak after going 4 for 5 on Tuesday, coming up a home run shy of the cycle. During that five-game hitting streak, Abrams has scored three runs and collected four RBI. He’s doing everything as Washington’s leadoff man, making him an ideal target for this bet. Plus, the Nationals have scored at least five runs in four of their last five games, so they’ve been good offensively, largely thanks to Abrams being the spark plug at the top of the lineup.

Just for good measure, Abrams is 5 for 15 in his career against Cristopher Sanchez, who starts for the Phillies on Wednesday. That should allow Washington’s young shortstop to stay hot and build off his four-hit game on Tuesday.

Tyler Soderstrom Over 0.5 RBI (+190) at bet365 Sportsbook

When Soderstrom faced Nathan Eovaldi earlier this season, he went 2 for 3 with a double. That’s a small sample size, but it’s enough to target the rookie for an RBI prop on Wednesday. Soderstrom is perfectly positioned in the A’s lineup to drive in runs. He also has nine home runs this season, which is tied for third in the majors, so driving himself in is an option as well. With five RBI in his last six games, it’s not far-fetched to think Soderstrom can add to that total.
