MLB player prop bets: Friday, June 23rd

Musgrove and the San Diego Padres will face off against Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals on Friday. The San Diego starter is coming off back-to-back wins and victories in three of his last four starts. The Padres picked up a much-needed victory on Thursday and hopefully can use this momentum to begin a streak on Friday. Musgrove faces Washington, which is 1-6 over its last seven games.

Drury and the Los Angeles Angels will be on the road to take on the Colorado Rockies. The latter heads into this game on an eight-game losing streak. The southpaw Kyle Freeland will start on Friday. Drury is 6-for-14 against him in his career, with two doubles, one home run and an RBI. He did go 0-for-4 in his last game but logged four-straight two-hit games prior to that.

Bassitt has a good matchup against the Oakland Athletics on Friday. While he has worked well this season to a 7-5 record with a 4.16 ERA, he hasn't been consistently punching out batters. This will be his first start of the year against Oakland, and he needs to bounce back after consecutive bad performances. Bassitt has fewer than six strikeouts in five of his last six starts.
