Derek Carty's Reds vs Blue Jays Prop Pick
By Derek Carty
There may be some value on Rhett Lowder's pitching outs prop. THE BAT X is projecting him to record 16.35 pitching outs, and oddsmakers are implying 13.98.
The model believes there is a 75% chance he records at least 15 outs by pitching, so there is value on the over at -122. This play is good down to at least -216.
Pick: Rhett Lowder Over 14.5 Outs (-122, FanDuel)

Derek Carty's Rockies vs White Sox Prop Pick
By Derek Carty
There is a value opportunity on Randal Grichuk's hits, runs and RBIs prop. THE BAT X is projecting him to record 1.79 hits, runs and RBIs, while oddsmakers are implying 2.25.
The model believes there is a 55% chance he records fewer than 2 hits, runs and RBIs, so there is value on the under at +120. This play is good down to at least +100.
Pick: Randal Grichuk u1.5 Hits, Runs & Rbis (+120, bet365)

Action PRO's Cardinals vs Brewers Prop Pick
Action PRO's Prop Projections has identified this pick for Saturday’s matchup between the Cardinals and Brewers as a value edge.
Setting May’s prop at just 2.5 strikes creates an exceptionally low hurdle for a starting pitcher who averages nearly a strikeout per inning. May possesses a legitimate high-end swing-and-miss arsenal, driven by a high-velocity four-seam fastball and a sharp sweeper.
His recent game logs consistently demonstrate this bat-missing ability, routinely clearing 3 strikeouts and regularly reaching 4, 5, or 6 Ks in his starts. Even in an outing with an abridged pitch count or early bullpen hook, clearing 3 punchouts requires minimal workload given his output.
Against a familiar opponent, May's proven strikeout production makes taking the over a strongly supported play.
Pick: Dustin May Over 2.5 Strikeouts (-164)

Bet Lab's Diamondbacks vs Padres Best Bet
By Bet Labs
Action Network's Bet Labs flagged this pick under the "Contrarian Unders for Winning Teams" system.
When two winning teams square off, public bettors naturally gravitate toward the high-octane offense, inflating market totals. The system exploits this exact public bias. With both Arizona and San Diego carrying winning records, public action heavily backs the Over, pushing the line to 7.5 despite optimal conditions for a low-scoring affair.
Pitching matchups like Walker Buehler taking the mound for San Diego demand disciplined game management, while both clubs rely on high-leverage bullpen usage and elite late-game defense characteristic of winning teams contending late in the season.
Furthermore, playing at pitcher-friendly Petco Park suppressed run production in prior divisional clashes. Backing Under 7.5 capitalizes on the market's overreaction to offensive upside while siding with superior late-inning execution.
Pick: Under 7.5 (-110)
