- The red-hot Astros’ bats should impact the MLB pitcher props today.
- Bank on the Rays to jump all over Morton in Tampa Bay.
Top 3 Pitcher Prop Picks
1. Clay Holmes Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-136) Mets vs Braves 7:15 P.M. ET
The conversion from reliever to starter has gone very well for Holmes and the Mets. He’s become a more complete pitcher, but part of that involves a reliance on the defense behind him. Holmes’ strikeout rate has plunged to its lowest in several years and he’s gone under this mark in six of his last nine starts. Survey the MLB odds and consider another under here.
The Braves are showing slight signs of getting hot, by the way, and the MLB futures betting scene might be changing.

2. Charlie Morton Over 2.5 Earned Runs (+102) Orioles vs Rays 7:35 P.M. ET
It’s really hard to know what you’re going to get with Morton these days, but it’s been mostly on the bad side this year. With the next of our MLB picks we’ll lean toward another clunker, even with him coming off a dominant outing his last time out. Morton is 0-4 with a 7.97 ERA on the road and the Rays are hot at the plate.

Bet on Charlie Morton Over 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (+102)
3. Jacob Lopez Over 5.5 Hits Allowed (+125) Astros vs Athletics 10:05 p.m. ET
Lopez is showing signs of putting it all together, spinning 10 scoreless innings over his last two starts. We see that coming to an end against the Astros, who pounded out 20 hits in Wednesday’s 11-4 victory over the A’s and 15 in a 13-3 win on Tuesday. If you’re sizing up the MLB matchups, consider the one-sided nature of the last two games in this set.
