Betting on player props can not only make the betting a bit more exciting, but you can find some good odds. Here are the five best MLB player prop bets to make for Monday, August 15th.

Dansby Swanson to Record a Run (-105)

Mets vs. Braves Predictions

The Atlanta Braves are hosting the New York Mets on Monday night, and it’s do-or-die time for the home team. New York has built up a big lead in the NL East Division, and the Braves have to pick up some wins this week, or the race will be all but over.

The offense for the Braves has to pick things up, and Dansby Swanson is usually right in the middle of the action for the Braves. Bet on Swanson to score a run on Monday night with odds at -105.

MLB Moneyline Odds

Joe Ryan Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-115)

Royals vs. Twins Predictions

Joe Ryan and the Minnesota Twins are hosting the Kansas City Royals in a series opener on Monday night. Things haven’t been going well for the Twins of late, and they need a big start from Ryan to get things turned back around.

There is some thunder in the lineup for the Royals, but that team will also strike out a ton. Ryan is a power pitcher, and he will record at least six strikeouts (-115) in this matchup.

Freddy Peralta Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110)

Dodgers vs. Brewers Predictions

The Los Angeles Dodgers visit Milwaukee on Monday night to face Freddy Peralta and the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee is no longer in first place in the NL Central Division, and hosting the Dodgers is never easy.

Peralta is one of the better pitchers in the National League, but he is facing a lineup that is loaded with talent and one that doesn’t strike out often. Bet on the under 5.5 strikeouts for Peralta, as he has a tough time with the Dodgers.

MLB Moneyline Picks

Jose Abreu to Record an RBI (+135)

Astros vs. White Sox Predictions

The Chicago White Sox continue to disappoint, but they are also still in the middle of the playoff race in the AL Central Division. Chicago has been a mess on offense for much of the year, and they simply have to find a way to get things going.

Jose Abreu is usually the player that creates a spark for the White Sox, and that will be needed on Monday night against the Houston Astros. Look for Abreu to record an RBI as he does his best to get his team back on track.

Shohei Ohtani Over 7.5 Strikeouts (-115)

Mariners vs. Angels Predictions

Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels will host the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. Seattle is one of the hottest teams in baseball, and they have a lineup that can do some damage.

Ohtani usually dominates whatever lineup he faces, though, and you should expect more of the same in this game on Monday night. The Angels are a struggling team, but they are always a good bet with Ohtani on the mound.

The two-way sensation will get at least eight strikeouts in this game, and taking it at -115 is the best bet to make.
