Best MLB Prop Bets Today 04 16 2024

Yesterday, we started a week by winning three of our five MLB prop bets, earning a profit yet again. That puts us a cool 25 units ahead of the game through the first half of April. On Tuesday, you’ll find some familiar names in our prop bets, although we’re fading a couple of the veteran pitchers taking the mound. You’ll also notice that most of our picks have plus odds, so we’re swinging for the fences. The odds we have are from DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users can sign up and bet $5 to receive $200 in bonus bets.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Rockies vs. Phillies (6:40 PM, EST)

Alec Bohm Over 0.5 RBI (+130) at DraftKings

With Austin Gomber starting for the Rockies, now is a good time to favor one of Philadelphia’s hitters, especially right-handed hitters. That led us to Bohm, who is 2 for 5 with two home runs in his brief experience against Gomber. That’s not enough for a home run prop because Bohm has just one on the season. However, he’s driven in a run in four of the last five games he’s started. Equally important, he has Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, and J.T. Realmuto hitting in front of him. Against Gomber, look for the Phillies to have a lot of traffic on the base paths during Bohm’s at-bats, making an RBI prop the best fit.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Braves vs. Astros (8:10 PM, EST)

Austin Riley Over 0.5 Home Runs (+380) at DraftKings

In limited at-bats against Houston starter Hunter Brown, Riley is 2 for 3 with a double. While Riley has just two home runs on the young season, he has a nine-game hitting streak and three doubles in his last five games. That's the sign of a hitter who is in a good groove and perhaps building up toward a home run. With a favorable matchup against Brown in a ballpark that allows plenty of home runs, there is good value in Riley hitting a homer on Tuesday.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (+105) at DraftKings

This is one of the few categories where you can get plus odds on Acuna, so we’ll take it. As we just mentioned, the Braves are facing Hunter Brown, who is coming off a disastrous outing and is rocking a 16.43 ERA right now. He’s also 2 for 3 with two doubles in his limited at-bats against Brown. More importantly, Acuna has hit this bet in back-to-back games and has a chance to do it again in another game in which the Braves are likely to do some damage offensively, especially with three multi-hit games in his last four games.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks (9:40 PM, EST)

Kyle Hendricks Over 6.5 Hits Allowed (+105) at DraftKings

Normally, over 6.5 hits allowed would be a big number, but not the way Hendricks has pitched this year. He’s given up a minimum of eight hits in each of his first three starts this season. It’s been ugly for the 34-year-old, who was once the anchor of the Chicago rotation. In his defense, Hendricks has faced some talented lineups thus far. But that’s not going to change on Tuesday. There are several Arizona hitters with good career numbers against Hendricks, which is why we’re going to keep fading him.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Nationals vs. Dodgers (10:10 PM, EST)

Patrick Corbin Over 3.5 ER (-105) at DraftKings

This is another big number for a pitcher to give up, but we’re talking about Corbin facing the Dodgers. Given his contract, the Nats don’t have much of a choice but to keep sending him to the mound, even if he has an 8.44 ERA this year. Corbin has allowed at least four runs in each of his three starts this year. It doesn’t seem likely for that streak to stop against the Dodgers. Even with four losses in their last five games, the Dodgers feel like a safe bet to kick Corbin while he’s down and put up a big number against him.
