1. Ryan Jeffers Over 0.5 RBI's (+236) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
We are getting great value on the Twins catcher tonight. Our trends tool shows Jeffers has exceeded this number in five of his last 10 games.
Additionally, Our +EV Tool is all over this wager, giving us an expected value of 69.14 percent, an added reason to hop on to this trending bet with valuable plus-odds.
2. Jake Burger Home Run +460 Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
Burger has been on fire lately. The Marlins third baseman has blasted a home run in six of his last 10 games.
Since July 1st, Burger has hit 17 home runs, the most in baseball. We can't pass up on that red-hot trend, or the great expected value of a Burger home run, which is 84.8% tonight.
3. Shohei Ohtani Over 0.5 RBI's (+123) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
Our +EV tool and betting trends tool are all over this play tonight, and so are we. The future NL MVP has been one of the best run producers-in baseball.
Ohtani has knocked in 88 runs this year, ranking seventh in baseball. Additionally, Ohanti is a threat to knock in a run any time he steps up to the plate, as he has launched 39 home runs this year, ranking second in baseball.
Ohtani has driven in a run in five of his last 10 games, and we will ride this trend once again at great odds against the Mariners.
4. Taylor Ward Under 0.5 Runs (-150) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
Ward has stayed under this prop in eight of his last 10 games. August 10th was the last time that Ward touched home plate, which means he has not scored a run in seven consecutive games.
The Angels have been one of the worst offensive teams in baseball this year. Los Angeles ranks 26th in runs per game (3.98). On top of that, the expected value of this bet is 30.06%, adding another reason to tail this strong 8/10 trend.
5. Will Smith Over 0.5 RBI +205 Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
The Dodgers catcher holds a ton of value tonight. Smith has produced an RBI in five of his last 10 games, and we expect him to get another one tonight.
Our oddschecker+ Positive EV Tool is giving Smith an AI probability of 39.35% to drive in a run tonight.
Smith has seven hits over his last seven games, so let's use our Betting Trends and +EV Tools to cash in on these bets tonight!
