Hitter Prop Prediction 1: Jake Burger 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-125)
Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger is quietly putting together an outstanding performance at the plate this season with a .247 batting average, 33 home runs and 75 RBI across 485 plate appearances.
He has seen a resurgence at the plate since joining the Marlins at the deadline and has hit .306 with 8 home runs and 23 RBI in the two months since joining the team.
The Marlins are coming off a statement weekend series sweep over the Atlanta Braves where they outscored them 36-13. Burger went 7-14 in the series with two home runs and 6 RBI, and he’s now cleared 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI in four straight games.
New York Mets starting pitcher Jose Butto has been solid in his time with the big club, going 1-2 with a 3.46 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 23 strikeouts across 26 innings of work.
However, he has walked a staggering 18 batters in those innings and even a free-swinging team like Marlins can take advantage of that.
The Marlins are battling for a wild card spot at home against a Mets team that traded the season away. Burger has been a huge part of that and when he’s on a hot streak like this I’ll take a double… or two.
Hitter Prop Prediction 2: Austin Riley 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+100)
It’s been business as usual for Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley who is batting .277 with 36 home runs and 10 RBI across 648 plate appearances during the 2023 campaign.
Riley is batting .273 in September with 4 home runs and 8 RBI across 64 plate appearances. He has recorded 2+ Hits + Runs + RBI in four of his last five games despite falling short in his last game.
You could say the same for Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler who is 11-6 with a 3.70 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 196 strikeouts across 175 innings of work.
However, he was just hammered by the Braves in his last outing on September 12th where he allowed six runs on seven hits including three home runs across only five innings.
Riley went 1-3 in that game with a run scored, clearing 1.5 HRR in the process. Riley has also had great success against Wheeler in his career, going 11-38 (.289) with a home run and five RBI.
Wheeler is a great pitcher, but he is in poor form and Riley hits him very well. Give me the over on Riley’s HRR tonight in the ATL.
