This slate is glorious not only because there are day games in it but because there are also sizable edges in the player prop market. My top five player props will make great additions to your card as the men on the mound have provided value in many different ways. So let’s find out who we are betting and how we’re betting them with today’s top player props of the slate.
Chicago Cubs vs. Washington Nationals 1:05 pm ET
Cory Abbott has gone from reliever to fixture in the Nationals’ rotation, but his results have not been too impressive. He enters with a 5.94 ERA and only averages a strikeout per inning. While his average may give him a case for going over this strikeout total, that would mean he would have to go five innings, which he has only done in one of his three starts. Abbott’s season high in strikeouts is five, and the question mark surrounding his length in this outing means the price should be much higher than it is right now.
