MLB Player Props Today

- Tyler Glasnow Under 15.5 Outs (55c, Kalshi)
- Byron Buxton Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + Runs Batted In (47c, Kalshi)
Rockies vs Nationals Prop
Last night, the Nationals got their All-Star shortstop-turned-second baseman CJ Abrams back in the lineup last night and proceeded to score 13 runs.
While Abrams went 1-for-4, Lile was the real star of the show. The 23-year-old went 3-for-5 with two runs and five RBIs, highlighted by a three-run home run that was his 16th of the year.
In total, Lile recorded 10 hits, runs, and RBIs last night. Lile has recorded two HRRs in three of his past four games.
Tonight, he will look to continue that trend against an unfamiliar foe in Mason Adams.
The Rockies right-hander will be making his MLB debut. However, he is not a particularly heralded prospect, ranking No. 20 in the Rockies' farm system. His numbers across four levels in the minors this season — 3.48 ERA and 61 strikeouts across 62 innings — are solid, but do not indicate dominance at the MLB level.
However, if Lile does not get to Adams, there is always a shaky Rockies' bullpen to exploit. Last night, the Nationals scored their final six runs off the Rockies' bullpen, including Lile's home run in the eighth inning.
Pick: Daylen Lile Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + Runs Batted In
Dodgers vs Braves Prop
Despite a midsummer malaise, the Dodgers have won their past six games.
They have also gotten healthier as Blake Snell has returned to the rotation, Shohei Ohtani is getting closer to returning on the mound, and Justin Wrobleski is not far behind them.
Tonight, they will get back another one of their high-priced arms, with Glasnow making his return against the Braves.
In addition to Snell, Glasnow joins Carlos Rodon and Shane McClanahan as former All-Stars who have returned to their teams' rotations recently. Rodon and McClanahan were both limited to four innings in their first starts off the injured list. Looking at their final rehab starts, Glasnow threw 77 pitches, more than both Rodon (58 pitches) and McClanahan (30 pitches).
However, Glasnow's line is projecting him to pitch in the sixth inning to clear the Over.
The Braves' offense has been struggling of late with a .590 OPS over their past 10 games, but there are still many difficult at-bats in the lineup. Even if they do not score a ton of runs, they can still run Glasnow's pitch count up to the 80-to-85 range through five innings.
With the Dodgers having an off day yesterday, their bullpen is set to cover three or four innings tonight. However, if Glasnow goes five innings exactly, this under will cash.
Pick: Tyler Glasnow Under 15.5 Outs Recorded (55c, Kalshi)
Twins vs A's Prop
Left-handers typically do not want to see Byron Buxton stepping in the batter's box, particularly in a park like Sutter Health Park in Sacramento.
While I did not find Buxton's price last night particularly appealing, he did go 3-for-5 with four runs scored, comfortably clearing his 2.5 HRR line.
Buxton has the same line tonight and gets another left-hander tonight in rookie Gage Jump.
While Jump has shown some flashes as a rookie, he has struggled at home with a 6.02 ERA and .286 opposing batting average. He has given up 27 extra-base hits to right-handed batters, including seven home runs.
Buxton has scored a run in five of his past seven games and tied a season-high with four last night. At least one hit and run scored tonight will put him on track for three HRR tonight.
Pick: Byron Buxton Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + Runs Batted In (47c, Kalshi)
