Hitter Prop Prediction 1: Nolan Gorman Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+120)
St Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman is only hitting .242 on the season but does have great power numbers with 19 home runs, 61 RBI and .807 OPS.
He has been on fire during his last five games, going 9-18 with two home runs while clearing this Hits + Runs + RBI line in each of his last five games.
Gorman also has great power numbers against Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, who he is 5-17 against with two home runs. Stroman was solid in his last outing but still has a 5.40 ERA during the month of July.
Gorman bats in favorable position in the Cardinals lineup as he bats in the 5th spot right behind sluggers like Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado. Arenado has struggled against Stroman, but Goldschmidt is 9-24 with three home runs against him.
Despite being in the basement in the NL Central, the Cardinals have won five straight games. Gorman’s power bat has been a huge part of that, and we should expect that to continue tonight at Wrigley Field.
Hitter Prop Prediction 2: Kyle Tucker Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-145)
Houston Astros right fielder Kyle Tucker is having an MVP-caliber season with a .298 batting average, 14 home runs, 62 RBI and an .866 OPS across 387 plate appearances. Tucker has eclipsed 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI in four of his last five and 20 of his last 30 games played.
Tonight, he has the opportunity to feast on Oakland Athletics pitcher Hogan Harris who has a 2-3 record, 6.51 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 47 innings pitched. It is a lefty-on-lefty matchup, but Tucker is batting .351 against southpaws with four home runs and 23 RBI across 123 plate appearances.
Hogan has only pitched past the 6th inning once this season and when he exits the game Tucker can feast on a bullpen that ranks dead last in ERA (5.66) while allowing the 2nd most home runs (53).
Tucker currently bats in the clean-up spot giving him ample opportunities to drive in runs and will be guaranteed a full nine innings of at-bats while playing on the road. Spend the extra juice and ride the Tucker hot streak tonight at Oakland Coliseum.
