Hitter Prop Prediction 1: Alec Bohm Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-120)
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm is batting .287 on the season with 10 home runs and 66 RBI across 379 plate appearances. July has easily been his best month as he’s hitting .337 with three home runs and 18 RBI across 102 plate appearances.
Bohm has recorded 2+ Hits + Runs + RBI in 4 of his last 6 games and 17 of his last 30 games. Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara has had an up & down season resulting in a 4-9 record, 4.46 ERA and 113 strikeouts across 135.1 innings of work.
However, he has struggled against multiple key Phillies sluggers throughout his career. This list includes Bohm 8-23 (.348) 2 XBH, Bryce Harper 11-36 HR (.306), Trea Turner 13-34 HR (.394), Nick Castellanos 7-21 HR (.333) and Kyle Schwarber 9-32 (.281).
Bohm bats in the heart of the order surrounded by these hitters which will lead to plenty of RBI and run scoring opportunities.
He also has had success against a mediocre bullpen that has been overtaxed in their last two games. Grab the over 1.5 HRR on the hot young slugger from Philadelphia.
Hitter Prop Prediction 2: Lamonte Wade Jr Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-130)
San Francisco Giants first baseman Lamonte Wade Jr. is batting .263 on the season with 9 home runs and 28 RBI across 353 plate appearances.
After a hot start to his 2023 campaign, Wade has hit a brick wall in July with a .180 batting average, no home runs and only one extra-base hit & one RBI across 58 plate appearances.
Wade Jr. has been benched or pulled early on several occasions and has fallen short of 2+ Hits + Runs + RBI in his last four games and 8 of his last 10 games while landing on two exactly in the other two games. Enter Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen who has an 11-5 record, 3.36 ERA and 143 strikeouts across 136.1 innings of work.
Gallen is in the midst of another stellar campaign and has dominated Wade Jr, holding him to 2-17 with no extra-base hits and only one RBI. There will be great pitcher’s weather tonight at Oracle Park with temps in the 50’s and the wind is always blowing out slightly.
We mentioned how Wade Jr. has been subbed out early on multiple occasions which could help an under tremendously.
Regardless he will be buried in the order and facing a stud pitcher who has owned him with tough weather to boot. Give me the under 1.5 HRR on Wade Jr in San Francisco tonight.
