It was a home run party in Los Angeles last night with the New York Yankees coming into town. The two teams combined for 7 home runs leading to a Dodgers victory. Can Freddie Freeman overcome his hitless game? He headlines our top MLB player prop bet.

Freddie Freeman (Dodgers) Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI (-140)

Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Yesterday’s zero-hit game from Freddie Freeman broke a 20-game hit streak. There’s no better time to hop back on the Freeman train. Freeman will be opposed by elite arm Gerrit Cole. This season, Cole has been much better against left-handed batters compared to right-handers. Lefties are hitting a measly .190 against the former CY Young winner. However, Freeman isn’t your typical lefty. He sprays the ball all over the field and hit righties for the second-highest average in all of baseball with a minimum of 90 plate appearances.

Cole and Freeman have had their fair share of battles with Freeman getting the upper hand. Freeman has six hits in 17 at-bats with four extra-base hits. Leadoff hitter Mookie Betts is no stranger to Cole as well. He has an even better six hits in 11 at-bats.

Like our early Corbin Carroll cash last night, if Betts can get himself on to start the game, Freeman could be sweat free winner. Freeman is over this line in 39 of 58 games this season and is looking to start another hitting streak.

Daniel Lynch (Royals) Over 4.5 strikeouts (-130)

Line available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.

An encouraging 95 pitches in Daniel Lynch’s first game this season should give MLB prop bettors a ton of hope for this bet. That wasn’t even the most impressive part of his stat line last start. He struck out 6 Washington Nationals hitters, even though they own the third-lowest K rate against left-handed pitching this season.

His opponent tonight, the Colorado Rockies, find themselves at the bottom of the NL West standings and against a left-handed pitcher are presumed to struggle. They own the fifth-highest K rate and sixth-lowest batting average against southpaws in 2023. The Royals bullpen blew their game last night by allowing six runs in the 8th inning. Jordan Lyles gave them a quality start but it was for nothing. That made it 12 straight games that the Royals have lost in which Lyles starts. Let’s hope Lynch can turn the tide and fan at least 5 Rockies batters.
