A 7-game slate takes center stage on Thursday, with all of the NL East in action tonight. We’re taking our action to DC, with the Phillies taking on the Nationals after being shut out in Cincinnati last night. Let’s dive into our best MLB player prop bets for today’s slate. You can also get our MLB picks for today’s games and EVERY MATCHUP through the rest of the season.
Best MLB player prop bet: Brandon Marsh (PHI) over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-110)
Odds available at BetMGM at time of publishing.
After an April that consisted of registering zero hits, yes, zero hits, Brandon Marsh has been a stable presence towards the middle of the order for the Phillies. Since May 1, Marsh is hitting .302 and has a .355 on-base percentage in 248 plate appearances. He gets his preferred side tonight, with the Nationals starting RHP Brad Lord, a former reliever who has started the last 4 games for the Nationals, who are in the midst of a disastrous season, with a 48-72 record.
Looking at other hitters in the Phillies lineup and their prices, Nick Castellanos’ over 1.5 HRR prop is priced at -140, who could very well be benched today with his performance as of late. With that in mind, Marsh at -110 is a price I’m willing to grab, while also sprinkling on the over of 2.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs at +200 on bet365.
