Picking MLB games is a complex and tiring task with shaky bullpens, weird extra inning rules, and the natural state of the game. One of the best ways to attack the sport and have fun in the process, is by betting MLB player props. Last week was our second consecutive profitable one as we finished up close to 3.5 units. That's great, but it's the start of a new week, and everything is wiped clean. Let's continue this hot streak with my choices for the Best Baseball Player Props for August 22nd.

Best Baseball Player Props for August 22nd
As far as offensive duos go, Goldy and Nolan might be baseball's best this year. Goldschmidt is the clear favorite for NL MVP batting .340 with 31 HR and 100 RBI. While Arenado, is batting .299 with 25 HR and 81 RBI.
The Cards' first-baseman is scolding hot at the plate right now batting over .400 since the beginning of the month and having at least one hit in 14 of the 18 games. Nolan is also on a heater batting over .340 with an RBI in 13 of those 18 games. Paul is crushing LHP this year and is 2-for-5 of Drew Smyly. Arenado is 3-for-7 off of Smyly with a HR and 3 RBI, and I expect both sluggers to feast off him tonight.
