Best MLB Player Prop: Freddie Freeman| July 18
Freddie Freeman Prop O/U 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Getting this line for Freddie Freeman is a rarity. It usually means one of two things: He is facing off against a solid pitcher or he is facing a lefty. Tyler Wells fits the mold of the solid pitcher part. He has a 3.18 ERA and a .219 xBA. In no time he will be pitching in playoff games for Baltimore, but this is a spot where bettors can fade him.
In Wells’ two starts before the break, he allowed a combined 11 hits, four walks and eight strikeouts but only four earned runs. Luckily, he plays behind one of the top defenses in all of baseball, as the Orioles rank in the top 5 in fielding percentage and errors.
Freeman has been as consistent as they come in today’s league. Against righties, he has hit over .300 in every season since 2015, and he hit .298 in that one. He ranks in the top 20 in base hits against righties in the last 30 days, and he added 12 extra-base hits, including three home runs. Teammate Mookie Betts, whose line is set at 1.5, will look to get on early so Freeman can drive him in. Freeman has cashed this player prop bet in 20 of his last 30 games and is fresh off a three-hit game yesterday.
