Labor Day is here and that always signals the start of one final playoff push for teams throughout Major League Baseball. The playoff races have been heating up for the last few weeks, but now the final push begins.

There is a full slate of games on the schedule on Monday, September 5th and that means plenty of good chances to make a bet. Here are five of the best MLB player prop picks to focus on for the Labor Day games.

Jack Flaherty Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-105)

Nationals vs. Cardinals Predictions

The St. Louis Cardinals host the Washington Nationals on Monday, and Jack Flaherty is making a return to the starting rotation. Flaherty has been out for months with an injury, but the Cardinals are hoping to get him back for what they think can be a deep playoff run.

Washington has really struggled this season, especially since trading away two stars at the trade deadline. Flaherty would normally dominate this lineup, but he won’t get a ton of action in this game.

Take the under 4.5 strikeouts for Flaherty as a pitch count limit will keep that total down.

Manny Machado to Record 2+ Hits (+210)

Diamondbacks vs. Padres Predictions

The San Diego Padres are trying to hang on to a playoff spot in the National League, but it’s been a struggle for this team since the trade deadline. San Diego was just blown out in two straight games by the Dodgers, but they look to bounce back against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Manny Machado has been terrific this season, as he leads the team with 26 home runs, 88 RBIs, and a .305 batting average. Machado has a favorable matchup in this game and taking him to get two hits on Monday at +210 is a bet that you simply can’t pass up on.

Brady Singer Over 4.5 Strikeouts (+105)

Guardians vs. Royals Predictions

The Cleveland Guardians are in Kansas City on Monday, and they need to pick up some wins. Cleveland is still holding on to first place in the AL Central Division, but that lead has continued to shrink.

The Guardians have to deal with Brady Singer on Monday night, and he has been pitching well of late. Betting on Singer to record over 4.5 strikeouts looks like a great betting opportunity and there are some good odds for that wager.

Shohei Ohtani to Record an RBI (+115)

Tigers vs. Angels Predictions

The Los Angeles Angels host the Detroit Tigers on Monday night, and there is always one good betting option when it comes to LA. Shohei Ohtani has been a one-man show at times for Los Angeles and he has some favorable matchups in this game against Detroit.

Betting on Ohtani to hit a home run is always tempting, and he might be able to get it done on Monday. A better and safer play, though, is taking Ohtani to record an RBI at +115, as the Angels should have a big day on offense in this one.

Trea Turner to Record 2+ Hits (+145)

Giants vs. Dodgers Predictions

The Los Angeles Dodgers just continue to put up huge numbers at the plate this season. Los Angeles is facing a great pitcher in Logan Webb on Monday, but it usually doesn’t stop the Dodgers from scoring.

Trea Turner has been turning it on in the second half of the season, and it’s always a good idea to bet on him when looking at player prop picks. Betting on Turner to record 2+ hits is a play that you want to look at., especially with favorable odds of +145.
