Another full 15-game slate is in the works for Friday, as we look to build on our 14-3 run! You can find out our MLB picks for each of today’s games, but for now, let’s dive into my best MLB player prop bets for Friday, July 5th.
San Diego Padres Team Total Over 3.5 Runs (-135)
Line available at ESPN Sportsbook at time of publishing.
We’re starting our action with West Coast baseball as the San Diego Padres host the Arizona Diamondbacks and RHP Slade Cecconi. Cecconi may be in for a rough outing. Tonight will be the third time the Padres lineup will face off against Cecconi this season. I’m a big proponent of fading pitchers the second and third time around against an offense – especially a lethal one in the Padres, who are hitting over .300 against RHP at home in the last month.
Cecconi doesn’t have the biggest leash, and without an outs line posted, we may only get him two times around the order. Nonetheless, Cecconi’s xERA and xBA rank in the league’s bottom half, while FanDuel and BetMGM have this same line priced at -155.
