Best MLB Prop Bets Today

Nationals vs. Cardinals, 1:15PM ET

BET: Paul Goldschmidt 1+ HR (+320)

Nationals pitcher Josiah Gray continues to be a steady provider of home runs for bettors when he heads to the mound, giving up 6 of them in his last 4 starts. Coming up against the Cardinals - ranked 6th in the MLB for most home runs hit this season - we should see some dingers fly out of Busch Stadium this afternoon. At the time of publishing those sportsbook cowards didn't have any odds on Albert Pujols listed (this is a dream set up for him in pursuit of home run 700), so we're pivoting to another man in hot form for St. Louis in Paul Goldschmidt. Goldy isn't a bad substitute with 9 homers over his last month of baseball.

We're taking Paul Goldschmidt to hit a dinger with DraftKings Sportsbook. Click ➡️ here ⬅️ to bet.

Reds vs. Cubs, 2:20PM ET

BET: TJ Friedl 1+ HR (+550)

As we outlined in today's daily MLB picks, we're expecting a lot of runs in this one. Starting Cubs pitcher Adrian Sampson has given up an average of 13 hits over per 9 innings in his last 3 starts and an average of 1.54 home runs over that same span. Those are some big numbers for a starter, and that's good news for these Reds hitters who head into this game as underdogs. TJ Friedl has been on a tear recently, with a .421 avg to go along with 4 home runs over the past two weeks. The odds for him to have another big day are simply too hard to ignore.

The best place to bet on TJ Friedl is with DraftKings Sportsbook. Click ➡️ here ⬅️ to get started and claim yourself a nice welcome bonus in the process!
