We have an 6-game MLB slate ahead of us on Monday and I’ve picked out the 3 plays I like most. I’m 8-3-1 with these picks over the last week, so let’s hope to keep that good run going.
Today I am targeting a couple of first 5-inning total plays and a player prop bet, so let’s get into the reasoning behind those picks. Remember to also check out our MLB predictions for the whole of Monday’s slate.

Atlanta Braves ML over Minnesota Twins (-220, DraftKings)
The Braves return home to face the Twins in a 3-game series. Spencer Strider is on the mound for Atlanta. It's been documented that Strider hasn't been the same starter as last year, but he was excellent last time out against the Phillies, and he looks prime for another dominant start against a Twins lineup that struggles on the road. Minnesota is bottom 5 in runs, batting average and OPS on the road this season. The Twins also have the second highest strikeout rate on the road this season, which is not a good thing against one of the best strikeout pitchers in the game. The one concern is Strider keeping the ball in the ballpark. He's allowed 12 home runs this year and the Twins are tied for 12th in road home runs this season.
