Today, we will dive into my five favorite bets powered by our oddschecker+ Positive EV Tool.
Last night, we cashed Juan Soto's HR (+340) and Brent Rooker's RBI (+180).
Below are my five favorite bets to lock in for today's games!
1. Brent Rooker RBI +200 Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
After making us some coins last night, we will go back to the A's All-Star tonight.
Rooker has been the best run producer for Oakland this season and should get some chances to add to his RBI total today.
The expected value of this prop is 100.13%.
2. JD Martinez RBI +235 Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
The veteran has excellent value tonight.
Martinez has been swinging a hot stick lately, driving 14 runs since August 1st.
We are getting an expected value of 84.48 on an RBI tonight.
3. Spencer Steer RBI (+213) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
Steer has been the top-run producer for Cincy this season.
While he has a tough assignment tonight vs. Paul Skenes, we are still getting tremendous value for an RBI.
Our AI probability on this prop is 55.07%.
4. Anthony Santander Home Run (+410) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
The Orioles outfielder has enjoyed the best year of his career.
Santander leads the team with 37 home runs and 82 RBIs.
26 of his home runs have come against right-handed pitching as Houston starts a righty tonight (Spencer Arrighetti), and he just hit one against the Mets on Tuesday.
The EV of this prop is 71.6%.
5. Kyle Schwarber RBI (+180) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
The veteran is always a threat to drive in a run with some of the best power in baseball.
Schwarber has driven in 79 runs this year, ranking 17th in the MLB.
The expected value of a Schwarber RBI is 58.6%.
