MLB player prop bets: Thursday, June 22nd

There's a reason McClanahan leads all of baseball in wins, and this is a must-bet considering the Royals are going with a bullpen game against him. He's also gotten the job done against lesser opponents, as he's 4-1 on the season against teams with records under .500. McClanahan is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in two career starts against the Royals.

It's been a weird year for Machado. The 30-year-old is only hitting .253 with eight home runs and 29 RBIs this season. He has been good for an OPS+ of 96, which would be the lowest total he's had in a full season. That said, Machado is no stranger to Giants starter Alex Wood; he has a .308 batting average in 13 at-bats against Wood. Additionally, Machado has a .287 average in his career against the Giants, and .286 average at AT&T Park.

After a scorching hot start to the season, Rooker is currently mired in an 11-for-51 (.211) slump where he's tallied 21 strikeouts in 51 games. While Rooker is better against left-handed pitching (.279 average), I think Logan Allen and the Guardians will keep him off the bases today.
