Kyle Schwarber (PHI) Over 1.5 hits/runs/rbi (-115)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Kyle Schwarber is one of the most interesting players in baseball. A leadoff hitter that doesn’t offer speed, hits for power, and walks at nearly the best rate in baseball, Schwarber can cash this prop with one swing of the bat. His batting splits this season are just as interesting as him. Against left-handed pitching, Schwarber is hitting .338 while just .213 against right-handed pitching, but .291 since the All-Star break. He’ll be battle-tested against RHP Zac Gallen tonight who he has plenty of history against including two home runs in the playoffs last season.
As impressive as Gallen has been in his tenure with the Diamondbacks, offering Schwarber to register at least two hits/runs/RBI at -115 is one I want action on. Gallen ranks in the bottom half amongst pitchers in xERA and xBA, while allowing right-handed pitchers to hit .255 this season – up from his average last season of .232.
