As Opening Day is upon us, we have 10 games to navigate on the diamond on Friday. Below are my favorite MLB player prop bets, while you can also check out our MLB picks'for today’s action starting at 1:40 E.T.
Juan Soto (NYY) Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs (-135)
Line available at ESPNBET Sportsbook at time of publishing. Wagering 1 unit.
Juan Soto did not disappoint in his first appearance as a New York Yankee. He recorded an RBI single in the 5th inning while also being walked twice. You can expect much of the same from the most disciplined hitter in baseball, who walked a league-leading 132 times last season.
Suppose this is your first time betting on the Hits + Runs + RBI market; strap in. DraftKings, Caesars, and BetMGM sportsbook are three of the major sportsbooks that offer this market. All we need is a combination of 2 hits, runs, or runs batted in. With the unique way Juan Soto finds the basepaths, this market is perfect for him, especially on the road where he’ll be today. Road hitters are guaranteed to hit in the 9th inning, which can pay dividends if we get an extra at-bat.
