Here are our favorite MLB prop bets for Sunday, April 9:
Boston Red Sox (-107, 8) at Detroit Tigers
Last season, the Red Sox were tied for ninth in the league in wRC+ against left-handed pitching, and they’re already fourth in the league in wRC+ when facing southpaws in 2023. With that said, a meeting with Matt Boyd should be rather fruitful for this Red Sox lineup. Boyd didn’t look particularly sharp in his first start of the season, and it’s not hard to imagine a scenario in which Boston scores four or five runs against him today — and then the team would get to work on a mediocre Detroit bullpen. Meanwhile, the Tigers should have no trouble scoring against Kutter Crawford today. The righty got shelled for seven earned runs in only 4.0 innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates in his first start of the year. And while Detroit’s lineup isn’t all that intimidating, the team should be able to do enough damage on him for the over to cash today.
