It was a 2-0 card for the baseball bettors last night! We had to sweat it out but Johnny Cueto did his thing for the White Sox, holding KC to just one run through five innings. And Shane Bieber tied his season high in strikeouts with 11, cruising past his K prop of just 6.5. Onto today’s slate where we have a full lineup of games, including some big divisional matchups. We shopped the MLB prop market and are headed to BetMGM for our game props and found the best player props odds over at DraftKings. We hope you have a great holiday weekend, here are our Brian and I’s top MLB prop bets for September 2nd.

Top MLB Prop Bets for September 2nd
While Boston’s offense has been fine over their last few games, this pick is really more of a fade of Dallas Keuchel. Keuchel was DFA’d by the White Sox earlier this season and has bounced around a few clubs now pitching for the Rangers. The veteran lefty has started 13 games this season and owns an ERA of 8.84.
He’s allowed 6+ ER in 5 of his last 8 starts, and in the other 3 starts he’s allowed 3 ER, 4 ER and 4 ER. If he doesn’t straight up allow the 6 runs on his own, he’ll likely put Boston in a position to get there whenever he hands things over to the bullpen. The Red Sox have also gone over the 5.5 total in their last two games.
