Top MLB prop picks September 17: Expect Yordan Alvarez to keep raking

Every MLB team is in action on Saturday. There are a lot of prop markets available for bettors to scour.

Yordan Alvarez is looking to build off his three-homer night. Cole Irvin has some value on his strikeout line. Austin Riley has the perfect opportunity to break out of a slump.

Alvarez is on a tear this month, batting .390/.500/.878 with five home runs and eight RBI. He's recorded a hit in 10 of 11 games this season. Cole Irvin has never beaten Alvarez. Irv's barrel rate, average exit velocity and hard-hit percentage are in the bottom third of MLB pitchers. Alvarez has the second highest slugging percentage in MLB.

Austin Riley is hitting just .184 in September, but he's on the cusp of breaking out of this slump. Yordan Alvarez is 15-for-36 against Aaron Nola.

Cole Irvin has cleared the 3.5 strikeout line in four straight games. Yordan Alvarez has pitched into the sixth inning in 12 of his past 14 games and should do the same against the Astros.
