Mike Trout (LAA) over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI (-130)

Line available at BetMGM at time of publishing.

The best player on the planet continues to dominate the game. Mike Trout has the Angels at 5-3 and will look to win the series against the loaded Toronto Blue Jays. Trout is off to a great start to his 2023 campaign. He’s hitting .346 with a .528 on-base percentage and will look to make it 8 games in a row with a hit.

His pitching counterpart will be Blue Jays lefty Yusei Kikuchi, who has a rich history. In 14 at-bats, Trout has 6 hits including 2 home runs. Attacking this player’s prop line is important. With Shohei Ohtani hitting behind Trout, he has a chance to smack a hit and then be batted in by Ohtani.

Trout has gone over this line in 7 straight games and has a phenomenal matchup as he bids to make it 8.

Nestor Cortes (NYY) under 4.5 hits allowed (-110)

Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Nestor Cortes faces a familiar foe for our next MLB player prop bet. The AL East Baltimore Orioles have had success against left-handed pitcher Chris Sale and Rangers pitcher Andrew Heaney. They scored 14 runs combined against the two but Cortes is on a different level than these two.

Cortes had a career year last season for the Yankees. He had a 2.44 ERA and held opponents to under 5 hits in 20 of 31 starts. He faced off against this Orioles squad 3 times and held them to a .156 batting average. His splits against the Orioles starting 9 today are phenomenal as well. In 74 at-bats he’s allowed only 14 hits for a batting average of .189.

Cortes 1st start against the Phillies was efficient but did surrender 8 hits. He’ll look to bounce back in Baltimore where the sun will be shining.
