There’s plenty of MLB action to bet on today, but there are no games tonight.

MLB Bookies

Make sure you get your picks in early for the slate. We’re going to discuss our top MLB player props picks for the afternoon match-ups starting with the Mets vs. Cubs game at 2:20 PM ET.

Eduardo Escobar Over 1.5 Total Bases (+130)

Mets vs. Cubs Predictions

The Mets will be going up against the Cubs on Sunday afternoon.

Adrian Sampson is the starting pitcher for the Cubs. He’s 0-1 with 3.33 ERA. The Mets hitters don’t have much experience against Sampson, but Escobar is 1-3 with 1 RBI against him.

Escobar has been on a tear lately. In the last 7 days, Escobar is hitting .300 with 9 hits, 2 HRs and 3 RBIs. We’re betting on Escobar to continue his hot streak and have over 1.5 total bases today.

MLB Odds

Carlos Santana Over 0.5 Home Runs (+400)

Mariners vs. Rangers Predictions

The Mariners play the Rangers and Texas will send Glenn Otto (4-5 and 5.50 ERA) to the mound.

Carlos Santana has never hit against Otto, but we’re betting on him to smash a home run today. We’re getting 4/1 odds and Santana has been a boom or bust hitter as of late.

In the last 7 days, Santana only has 5 hits (.200 batting average), but 4 of those hits were home runs. He has racked up 7 RBIs on those home runs. Santana now has 8 HRs during the regular season.

Logan Webb Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-190)

Brewers vs. Giants Predictions

Logan Webb is the starting pitcher for the Giants today against the Brewers.

Webb is 8-3 with a 2.82 ERA and 96 strikeouts this season. Webb has had 5+ strikeouts in 10 of his last 13 starts, so while there’s some juice on this bet, it’s one of the top player props picks today.

In his last start, Webb went 6 innings and finished with 8 strikeouts against the Diamondbacks.

The Brewers strikeout a lot also. Milwaukee hitters have struck out 813 times this season already, which is the 5th worst total in the league. Webb should easily have 5+ strikeouts today.

MLB Picks

Alek Thomas Over 0.5 Runs (+125)

Diamondbacks vs. Padres Predictions

The Padres host the Diamondbacks in the final game on the slate today.

San Diego will send Mike Clevinger to the mound. He’s 2-2 with a 3.79 ERA this season. We’re betting on Alek Thomas to have over 0.5 runs in the game and we’ll explain why we like this bet.

Thomas is hitting #2 in the Diamondbacks batting order. He has had success against Clevinger also. He’s hitting .400 in his career against Clevinger with 1 HR. We like Thomas to get on base today.

If Thomas is able to get on base a couple times, there’s a good chance the hitters behind him in the lineup will be able to drive him in at least once, which is good enough for this prop to cash.
