The 3 best MLB prop bets to make on Aug. 25
The dog days of summer are winding down, but the MLB season is really beginning to heat up, and we have some prop bets to make for Friday’s action.
All 30 MLB teams are slated to play on Friday, Aug. 25. Our favorite prop bets of the day include a divisional matchup, an interleague game, and an NL clash.
Here, you can discover our top trio of prop bets to make and also, a great promo:
**All of the odds seen below were provided by PointsBet Sportsbook on 8/25/23**
The Philadelphia Phillies offense has really caught fire over the past seven games, tallying seven or more runs in five of those contests. Slugger Kyle Schwarber has reached base at least once in each of the past seven games.
Meanwhile, infielder Trea Turner has begun to turn a corner after a horrendous start to his first year in Philly. Like Schwarber, Turner has gotten on base in each of the past seven games.
We like both batters to reach base at least once tonight against The St. Louis Cardinals. Philadelphia will face right-hander Miles Mikolas, who has allowed 198 batters to reach base in his 152.1 innings pitched so far this season.
A $20 wager at +200 odds will yield a $60.00 payout.
Kyle Hendricks will take the mound for the Chicago Cubs in their divisional matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. The right-hander has tallied 64 strikeouts in 98.2 innings pitched this season. Hendricks has recorded more than four Ks in seven of his last 10 starts.
The Pirates rank 10th in the MLB in terms of team strikeouts at the plate. Hendricks will have a fair amount of righties to face, which bodes well for him.
A $20 wager at -165 odds will yield a $32.12 payout.
The Baltimore Orioles lineup will face off against Colorado Rockies starter Ty Blach, who has gone past the fifth inning just once this season. The 32-year-old lefty owns a 4.39 ERA. He has also allowed 32 base-runners over his last 19.2 innings pitched.
Switch-hitting outfielder Anthony Santander has 69 RBI on the season, including five in his last four outings. Blach, who is a sinker-dominant pitcher, may struggle against Santander, who is a .322 hitter over his career when thrown sinkers.
A $20 wager at +110 odds will yield a $42.00 payout.
