Best MLB player prop bet: Spencer Strider (ATL) under 4.5 Hits Allowed (-120)

Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing

The Atlanta Braves have a nearly fully rested bullpen heading into Thursday’s series finale against the Mets. Chris Sale threw 116 pitches over 8.2 innings last night in a 5-0 win. Spencer Strider and company go for the sweep tonight, as the struggling Mets have lost 5 straight games and have watched their NL East lead drop to 1 game over the Phillies. With the Mets’ offensive struggles, we’re going to back Strider in his 1st game against the Mets this season. Strider has struggled when facing the core of this Mets lineup in the past, but he’s in good form after a dominating outing against the Rockies last time out. He’s allowed 3 hits or fewer in 3 of his last 4 games, so I feel good about keeping that number below 5 here.
