Here are our favorite MLB prop bets for Sunday, April 23:
Houston Astros at Atlanta Braves (-130, 7.5)
Christian Javier is 3-0 with a 3.68 ERA in four starts this season, but it’s hard not to give the starting pitching edge to Max Fried here. The lefty has given up just one earned run over 8.1 innings of work this year, and he’s fresh off a season in which he went 14-7 with a 2.48 ERA. Fried was also at his best when pitching at home, where he went 8-4 with a 2.42 ERA last year. That marked the second season in a row in which the lefty performed better in Atlanta, and it’s hard to ignore that he’s facing an Astros team that is currently without some key pieces in the lineup. So, with Atlanta having the better pitcher in this one, along with a healthier lineup, we’re keeping it simple and backing the home team.
